Ratppl Neutral Newbie December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 It not about feedback or report to LTA about those potholes or badly damaged road...but the problem is why there are so many of these potholes, bumpy road, stones, cement, poorly repair road...etc Why the road has become so terrible? Something must be wrong or no longer in place..just like what happen to SMRT... if the root cause they choose to ignore or not going to find it..then..by reporting all these defect..it just another fire fighting type of solving the problem... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtb 6th Gear December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 Either the people from LTA is driving lexus or they dont use that road at all. So doesnt affect them whether the road is uneven or even. Cmon i wrote to mot for an exercise during rainy days with their trucks loaded to patch what they see and only reply i got was "can you tell me where is the location" sad to receive this response.

Deckbuild 6th Gear December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 What about the speed humps at Tuas Checkpoint. They've been worn down to nothing about a car wheels distance apart and have been like that for at least a year. Not that I'm really complaining as it makes driving over them easy. But if the bumps aren't needed why not remove them entirely. Bro, they heard others before they heard you, all have been replaced, nice and high now.....

Deckbuild 6th Gear December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 Still can complain, right after the first row of bump on center lane there is a pot hole, NABEI, it's like going up roller coaster and straight down into ditch... Sorry for all the complaint but those holes are just ........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picanto 3rd Gear December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 I have notice nowadays polehole very serious, esp on certain road. Even reported and the pothole repaired, after a while the potholes come back again. Wondering it is due to the poor QC check?! it could be due to the poor quality of materials used Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 (edited) usually i slam the authority for being inefficient, but i have to disagree with this topic about repairing of potholes on the roads having driving frequently to Malaysia, i do appreciate LTA for regularly maintaining the roads in Singapore the potholes i encountered are usually repaired within several days in MY, the potholes stayed on for months Edited December 27, 2012 by Scion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 bloody hell who is the dept in charge of potholes? LTA? small island cant keep the road in proper order. Saw motorcycle almost buang because of big pothole. have experienced numerous pot holes all over the island. so hard to maintain the road? nb malaysia also less occurence than in sgp. near nuh even better. 3 lanes all filled with leftover cement for months and no one bothers. did you call and tell them? if you did, usually few days settle liao...

The potholes here normally get repaired within days. Whether it last or not, that's another story. Sometimes we can do a part by feedback to LTA. Here: http://talk2lta.lta.gov.sg/AskLTAContentCo....CreateFeedback I feedback once about uneven roads at Still road and true enough, they repaired the road after finishing all the laying of cables.

Davidklt 6th Gear December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 To be fair, I noticed that potholes in. Singapore are repaired relatively fast. On the usual routes which I travel almost every day, potholes don't stay more than a week. LTA do rely on the public to report and inform, just like the police, you cannot expect them to be everywhere. For MY, I have seen a pothole in JB which is not repaired for years. Nobody cares. usually i slam the authority for being inefficient, but i have to disagree with this topic about repairing of potholes on the roads having driving frequently to Malaysia, i do appreciate LTA for regularly maintaining the roads in Singapore the potholes i encountered are usually repaired within several days in MY, the potholes stayed on for months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged December 27, 2012 Share December 27, 2012 Amount of potholes in Singapore considered quite little already. Overseas when I cycle always have to look out for potholes. In Singapore the number of potholes are so little.Its very good for cyclists and motorcyclists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can memorise the pothole locations in Melaka. But having said that, I notice the road maintnenance standard here has slackened. There are really many potholes around that has not been repaired. One thing for sure, those potholes along Thomson. Tanglin Bukit Timah, River Valley, Serangoon(near KK hospital) will disappear very fast.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
