What is the meaning of Expressway?
-
If it is really an expressway, how come we are still seeing drivers cruising on 1st land and refusing to give way to faster traffic?
Maybe LTA should consider renaming lane 1 and call it the express lane and mark it with a letter E at every 200m to remind road user they are driving on the express lane. -
ummm.. This is the first time I agree with what you posted here in SC.
-
siao. every 200m put a signboard E.
another reason for them to increase ERP rates. -
There are all kinds of drivers - idiotic, reckless, half-past-six, kiasiu, bochap - who should be gassed to death by carbon monoxide, and left by the expressway.

Cruising ?Originally posted by Gazelle:If it is really an expressway, how come we are still seeing drivers cruising on 1st land and refusing to give way to faster traffic?
What speed would be near your standard of ''cruising'' ?
What is your preferred speed for ''faster traffic'' ?
''1st land'' ?
LKY has claimed Singapore to be the First World for himself and his Family; is the infamous Gazelle now claiming that the ''1st land is for his exclusive speeding above cruising speed'' ?
Maybe URA and LTA should consider marking out GE for Lane 1 on the 1st Land - to remind road users that they are driving in a lane for speeding Gazelles ?

During Peak Hours - if drivers do not want a Gazelle to charge up to their rear ends, all should make way for the Gazelle nose growing larger in their rear view mirrors. -

care you explain? Paint vs steel structure?Originally posted by ^tamago^:I think this will cost even more than signboards then. -
This is singapore.
In Germany, expressways are with 2 lanes. People usually travel on the inner lane, unless they want to overtake. After overtaking, they go back to the inner lane. And pls, I'm not talking about time periods where there are jams or heavy traffic -
remind u,
our expressway have 4 lanes.
it is nt like everybody travelling 200km/h. -
As you have said, we have 4 lanes, so how difficult it is to assign lane 1 to be a express lane specially dedicated to people who want to get from point A to point B in the shortest possible time?Originally posted by hiphop2009:remind u,
our expressway have 4 lanes.

I am not suggesting that there will be no speed limit on the express lane but what I am suggesting is that you should give way to faster traffic regardless of what speed you are traveling. -
Actually our expressways are a farce.
With an exit every 1 to 1.5 km apart it is more of a short cut than an expressway.
I use the PIE as a short cut from Bedok Reservoir to Telok Kurau. -
Cars forum is there for a reason.

What's the point of whining in here?
You also a No Action Talk Only (NATO)?
You are a waste of resources to your employer. -
maintanance in the long run.Originally posted by Gazelle:care you explain? Paint vs steel structure?
signboards are longer lasting than marking on the roads i suppose. -

If you want to debate the literal meaning of the nomenclature of our dear transportation systems, I'm sure the friendly members at Cars can enlighten you further.

Is it not usual for you to avoid the difficult parts, and give a ''no brainer'' reply to the easiest issue ? -
Yes, agree that money will need to come from somewhere and would it be from Gazelle?Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:siao. every 200m put a signboard E.

Gazelle, if only things are so simplistic, you too may possibly would qualify for the ministr for tranport. -
How much will it cost to put markers of the road, vs, the cost to clear land for widening of expressway and the inefficiency caused by road hoggers.Originally posted by reddressman:Yes, agree that money will need to come from somewhere and would it be from Gazelle?
