  1. If PMD can travel at 80km/h, why is my grab order so slow to travel? What happened? The footage shows the PMDs going much faster than the camcar while Chinese music blares in the background. While the MCE is fairly empty at the time of recording, it does not change the fact that using a PMD on the expressway is illegal and unsafe in the event of an accident. If caught, first-time offenders face a fine of up to S$2,000 or up to three months in jail, or both. Repeat offenders face a fine up to S$5,000 or up to six months behind bars, or both. With road users in cars and motorcycles needing to pay road tax, COE and other fees to be allowed to use their vehicles on the road, it's no surprise that incidents sich as this frustrate them, especially with how few of them go unpunished. Online chatter Some wondered if LTA had working hours, as in this incident they were nowhere to be seen. Others just complained about how such cases are now commonplace, despite the danger they represent to other road users. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  2. TL;DR – A cam car driver took to Facebook to complain about a cement truck after trying to filter into its path and failing miserably. Netizens wasted no time in giving their thoughts about the incident. There are many types of drivers in Singapore. Most are intelligent defensive drivers who keep a cool head under stress. Then, you have drivers like this cam car driver. The following video will take 46 seconds of your time, but it’ll be worth it. What happened A cam car can be seen travelling along the left lane of an expressway. The post caption states that this incident occurred on the MCE. [Important fact alert] A cement truck on the right of the cam car has engaged its left signal indicator light and started filtering to the left. However, the cam car driver has none of it and speeds up (it’s very obvious). In a desperate attempt not to get cut, cam car even veers onto the road shoulder slightly. It even ends up on the chevron markings a couple of meters in front. Salty fella In furious indignation, the driver of the cam car took to social media to complain about the cement truck and lodge a complaint with the company. Online Chatter Netizens who watched the video gave the cam car driver ‘zero chance’. Here are some snippets for your perusal. The comments all take this general stance over this issue. Writer’s thoughts: I don’t think it’s worth it to lose your life over a few seconds lost. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  3. Anyone knows does google map have accurate and real time tracking of traffic condition under the tunnels, especially for long tunnels like MCE since there is very limited access to satellites? How is google map able to detect a bad traffic jam under the tunnel ? Does it track the in and out timming of each devices to know how much time a car spend in the tunnel ?
  4. TL;DR - An EVO and a GTR duke it out along the MCE to see which is the faster car. Is there any doubt which would win in a race? Let’s find out in this 13-second video that we found on Beh Chia Lor's Facebook page. Spoiler alert If your money was on the GTR. You’re absolutely right! What about speed cameras? These two drivers are pretty ballsy to race along the MCE, where numerous speed cameras lie in wait to catch speedsters. For those who are not familiar with the speed limit on the MCE – it’s 80km/hr. These two cars are definitely going way past 80km/hr. Online chatter Err. Okay can. RIP. LOL. WOW. I didn’t even notice that till I read this comment. Super observant.
  5. Spotted somewhere on the many pages of Facebook is a post where a motorcyclist managed to do a proposal with the help of his mates on the road. Done somewhere in our MCE tunnel, Hasan Sanny and his wife-to-be were supposed to be married on the 29th of Aug 2020. However due to the pandemic, the wedding had to be postponed. Not wanting to let that defeat him, the motorcyclist got his friends who then rode on 3 different bikes and wore t-shirts with the words "Marry Me ?" to carry out the proposal. Did he managed to get his girl of his dream? Watch the video here and see for yourself!
  6. Our Circuit Breaker measures sure bring up quite a few weird incidents. I mean why would you even cycle in an expressway tunnel? As seen on ROAD.sg's website, it did seemed like someone cycled along our Marina Coastal Expressway on the 9th of April and was stopped by a Special Operation Command Police vehicle. As uncommon as it is to see a cyclist on an expressway, it is even rarer to see someone from the SOC stop a traffic offender as it is not part of their job scope. Kudos to the fellas for going the extra mile! Even netizens on the facebook page were also grateful to police force! videoplayback.mp4
  7. Hi, I wonder if it's only me but twice when I was travelling in the MCE (the stretch under Marina Barrage), my car suddenly applied the brake when approaching the 2 sections with the speed cams. First, my radar cruise control was activated, set to 80 km/h. Lane ahead was clear (and fortunately no cars behind me). But when I approach the 2 spots with the speed camera, my car brake momentary as if it detected a vehicle ahead. I cancelled cruise control in time to resume the drive. On the 2nd occasion, it just continued driving after a pre-collision alert "BRAKE" alert on the screen for 1 second, then cleared as if nothing happens. Does anyone face the same issue? I'm driving a 2018 Toyota Camry with Toyota Safety Sense.
  8. State the road name, direction and location.
  9. Surprise no one saw this? How true? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Jg1XhzPmI
  10. http://transport.asiaone.com/news/general/story/cyclist-spotted-riding-along-mce-during-morning-rush-hour SINGAPORE - A cyclist was seen pedalling on the road shoulder of the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) this morning. A Stomp reader told the citizen journalism website that he had thought it was a motorcyclist. He said it was during the morning rush hour at about 8.30am when he noticed the cyclist entering the MCE from the East Coast Parkway (ECP) towards the city. He told Stomp: "Initially, at the first glance it looked like a motorcyclist, but I was shocked to realise it was a cyclist pedaling on the road shoulder! "I hope LTA can do something about this incident." Cyclists here face a fine of $20 for riding on an expressway, which is against the Road Traffic (Expressway Traffic) Rules.
  11. Good idea, can avoid cycling under the noon sun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUxyiT8GAxI
  12. Check the jam from MCE and ECP exits to Central Boulevard. The bottle neck is at the cross junction just beside MBFC Tower 3. Good luck to all those who drive to work via Central Boulevard. I will refrain from commenting on the competent authority LOL. 2nd pic 3rd pic
  13. New roads in the Marina South area will be opened on Sep 28, giving motorists using the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) "a more direct connection" to the city centre: LTA.http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/new-roads-connecting-mce/1362778.html
  14. With five lanes on each direction, the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) can carry up to 10,000 cars an hour. The aim is to ease congestion on the ECP, and serve as an alternative to link up the various expressways. But did it really help? http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/article.php?AID=9169
  15. The newly opened $4.3 billion Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) is a breathtaking engineering feat by any measure. Part of the mega tunnel (five lanes in each direction) under the seabed had to be built in soft marine clay, while rechannelling 2,000 cubic metres of water a second flowing from the Marina Bay. After four years of complex work costing a prodigious $860 million a kilometre, the sleek expressway deserved a triumphal opening rather than two-hour delays for users resulting from snarls at a few points en route. First-day teething problems are to be expected, of course, but to what extent can glitches be anticipated when dealing with high volumes and multiple connections? This is a challenge which calls for an interdisciplinary approach that is not always second nature to mega project supervisors. When VivoCity was opened to much fanfare in 2006, as Singapore's largest mall offering over a million sq ft of retail space, the crowds encountered bottlenecks and navigation problems in the labyrinthine complex. Despite tapping acclaimed Japanese architect Toyo Ito and the latest building technology then, VivoCity's experience showed plans can go awry when attention is not paid to usability details - like signage and human factors that influence traffic flows. Usability is a concept that is more associated with the information superhighway than in other areas where layouts, movements and interactions warrant a closer study of users. In the digital sphere, designers might leverage design engineering, philosophy, cognitive psychology and ergonomics to improve user experience. The management of transport and public facilities also calls for a look at social behaviour and real- world patterns of usage, among others. Indeed, usability stress tests ought to be the norm before rolling out facilities to the public. In the case of the MCE, planners had to also consider the needs of fringe commuters. For example, those from Fort Road going to the city via the East Coast Parkway (ECP) need to thread through an East Coast Park service road. Rather than using makeshift directional signs, a broader effort to build public awareness of the changes is needed well before an opening. Maps and videos created for this purpose should also be tested for clarity and effectiveness. When usability is adequately addressed, users are more likely to rise above inconveniences and appreciate the logic of removing part of the old ECP in the Marina area. The new Central Business District needs room to grow, with new sections blending smoothly with the old. Planning such linkages is as much an art as a science. What will make a difference is always bearing in mind the needs of users.
