13177 Hypersonic November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 Never heard of this news until now. No signboard for motorist at all. Damn first world indeed. I was stuck in the jam yesterday, as i could not avoid cause by the time i saw the signboard already too late! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 (edited) I was stuck in the jam yesterday, as i could not avoid cause by the time i saw the signboard already too late! So the million dollar signboard is useless. Stating the obvious perhaps...oops traffic congestion up ahead. On the other hand, I always start a trip looking at google map first. Google map cost $0.

Kklim Supercharged November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 So the million dollar signboard is useless. Stating the obvious perhaps...oops traffic congestion up ahead. Yup! Totally useless. The Upp Thomson one always says "Accident on AYE. Drive carefully." like kenna stuck at default. Where on AYE? Towards Tuas or Keppel? Near which exit? Only LTA knows.

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 (edited) If one travel daily along SLE, TPE and KJE, it is where the most heavy vehicles travelled.... This heavy vehicles had shifted from PIE to this expressways to Jurong & Woodlands. Three lanes expressway and this heavy vehicles occupy 2 lanes ...

Carnoob Supercharged November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 The accident made up of 1 tanker, 1 private bus, 1 trailer and 1 car and so serious that there was an oil spill to force a road closure... I don't know the story, however 1 thing comes in mind... SPEEDING... Nobody wants accident but doesn't take precaution so it is still an accident waiting to happen. I see trailers, dump trucks, buses travelling on 2nd lane on expressways sometimes THE DRIVER for A DUMP TRUCK CAN OVERTAKE a trailer in front using 2nd lanes. So I really suspect the effectiveness of speed limiter on these heavy vehicles. If the speed cuts off at 60, then how can they OVERTAKE? The worst thing is they will return back to 3rd lane only if they spot a TP on the road... Everyone shares the road, nobody wants to have accident and somebody is always reckless but nobody wants to take precaution and ends up causing inconvenience to everyone... Drive safe and take precaution... Our FAMILY needs US.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan 5th Gear November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 Nowadays it's a habit of mine to check google maps for traffic conditions before a trip. Can save a lot of frustration. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 Follow LTAsg on Twitter .. quite useful so far, but better I think if all cars have smartphone connectivity built-in. You will also realize how frequent these accidents are every day, not only when wanbao or MCF post .. I dont use twitter, fb, wechat and friendster. I only use email & h/p.

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 No need to post stuff .. can just be receiver. I also don't use most of these platforms, until I realize how fast it is to receive news on Twitter. Call me old fashion. I just like to signboard saying Road Closure, please use alternative roads.

Kb27 Supersonic November 10, 2014 Share November 10, 2014 When they (TP/LTA) decide to close SLE, did they warn or prevent other traffic from joining SLE ? So much so all the traffic skidded to a halt and bunched up at Lentor, like 10-pin bowling. And Lentor just couldn't cope with expressway traffic and then there's the usual traffic lights timing. It backed up all the way to Yishun. I saw traffic happily entering SLE from Upp Thomson Rd..not knowing the fate that awaits them ahead. They could have block these traffic from entering SLE and causing more congestion, but they didn't appear to know what to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise 5 points in times like this, they should make U turn gap at the SLE for cars to get out of the jam.
