Yewheng Twincharged September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 When they were planning and building the expressways, didn't it occur to them that this will always cause a traffic jam due to lane-changing and possibly high chance of accidents?? Singapore road so congested, so many intersections. So it is inevitable that previous entrance just happen to be near to next exit. Singapore expressway is not nshw where expressway exit are far apart from each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemdk 1st Gear September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 I'm going to guess that it's meant for those hor lan drivers who take a wrong turn onto the expressway. Then they can exit immediately. I didn't say that my guess would be a good reason though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that my guess would be a good reason though. Space constraints. Singapore where got so much land for normal road and expressway run parallel. I mean if want entrance and exit to be far from each other would require parallel road given so many road intersections. Now ts complain that entrance and exit are close to each other causing congestion, wait till he see how is it like to be stuck at many traffic light before got 1 filter to entry of expressway, if it would to run parallel to each other.

GPunto Neutral Newbie September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 so that pple who make the wrong exit, can re-join at the entrance very shortly? expressway will be more difficult to build if the exit is before entrance....cos they will overlap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravan 5th Gear September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 It's history. The trunk roads are usually built before the expressways were built. Also cars used to be slower and traffic less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Clutched September 29, 2012 Share September 29, 2012 Singapore road so congested, so many intersections. So it is inevitable that previous entrance just happen to be near to next exit. Singapore expressway is not nshw where expressway exit are far apart from each other. You are right. For NSHW, where the exits are 10s of kilometres apart, obviously the exit is before the entrance (from the same trunk road). In Singapore our feeder roads are so near to each other, often less than 1 km apart, hence the entrance from the first feeder road is a short distance from exit to next road. Example Clementi Avenue 2 and Clementi Road with AYE (City). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_w124 Neutral Newbie September 29, 2012 Share September 29, 2012 not sure but is it cos we drive on the left? hence to make the entrance before the exit would involve building a looping road to rejoin traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluboxed 1st Gear September 29, 2012 Share September 29, 2012 i dun really get TS's point of view...the exit is usually before the entrance right? for example..fort road exit is before the fort road entrance ECP towards changi/city... the entrance and exit scenario happens yes..but is because the exit is meant to come before the next entrance point, no?

Tcx607 4th Gear September 30, 2012 Share September 30, 2012 IMO, TS is referring on the traffic cross lane (expressway) before exit. This contribute to slow flow of traffic and resulted jam during peak hrs. Like our bro mentioned, the entrance and exit is too near (within 1km). LTA has flaw in the design and did not cater for current traffic situation. The no. of traffic has grew to this number and current 3 lane expressway is not sufficient to cope with heave traffic flow. Worst, the LTA did not really survey enough on traffic situation and need public to feedback on the improvements. Every new traffic junction implemented on the road is a form of flow obstruction and it is always not sync to traffic light 300M down the road. The light timing also did not cater long enough for heavy traffic start and stop momentum. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
