if these new ERP were setup on the highway, it is OK since the jam issues are needed to improve on the EXPRESSWAY; but if not, probably more ERP will come in all the roads...

They are mainly in the heart of residential areas.

MOTORISTS can expect to pay more over the next few months to use the roads when five new ERP gantries are up, many in the heart of residential areas.
The gantries are in Upper Bukit Timah Road (outside Hume Park), Toa Payoh Lorong 6, Upper Boon Keng Road, Kallang Bahru Road and Geylang Bahru Road.
All except the ones in Toa Payoh Lorong 6 and Geylang Bahru Road have been completed.
The Land Transport Authority has not announced when these new gantries will be switched on, but already residents are concerned why their neighbourhoods are targetted.
Commenting on the gantry outside Hume Park, Bukit Timah resident Mr Burven Lee, 43, said: 'The road here does get jammed up. But will a gantry solve the problem?'
'My feeling is that it will just redistribute traffic around,' the director of a statutory board added.
Toa Payoh resident 68-year-old retiree Tony Chan wanted to know why the gantry at Toa Payoh Lorong 6 is sited near the entrance to the residential area.
The LTA spokesman explained that the location of the gantry is unlikely to affect residents as it charges motorists entering into Toa Payoh from Braddell Road who add on to the traffic in the area.
He added that if gantries were at exit points, more Toa Payoh residents would be affected. Also it would plug a gap in series of gantries forming an outer cordon around the city.
The new gantries are part of the LTA's plans to have an 'outer cordon' to control traffic going into the city. -
Buy car easy lor.. Maintaining it.... haiz... all these ERP enuff to kill liao.
Seriously, it doesn't make sense at all to have ERP gantries at residential areas. Imagine every estate in the future has an ERP gantry, like S'pore very big need TOLL charge.
People will still be buying cars, garhmen will still put up the gantries. It's only the people that are going to suffer real bad.
Are they thinking for the people? -
They are thinking for the people! It is for us to own more cars. See they so good to us!Originally posted by Nata|ie:Buy car easy lor.. Maintaining it.... haiz... all these ERP enuff to kill liao.

maybe he should rephased it as, "if gantries were at exit points, only Toa Payoh residents would have to pay for the taxes hence making this not as profitable as we would have liked.. -
Sian....I thought living in TPY, Kallang areas were good...now this.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:wow, so people have to make a big route to get home? -
Next time you walk out of your HDB flat will have ERP already...
Cause population too high and dense, that's why need ERP to control human traffic. -
kudos to the 66.6%!
without you guys, nothing is possible!
higher erp, higher tax, higher cost of living, higher cost hdb
lower citizen employment, lower pay
without you guys, i really have nothing to complain, tks mates. (66.6%) -
This is nothing new.
Soon every part of Singapore will be ERP-gantried simply because it has a high volume of traffic. This in turn will force motorists to take alternative routes, which in turn causes these new alternate routes to become ERP-gantried, which in turn creates the domino effect of still more gantries....
Maybe one day the LTA will incorporate GPS for motorists - the moment you start your vehicle, you are charged. When you move your vehicle, you're charged again.....and so on....
Whoohoo! ERP nation! Another case study for our uniquely Singapore...

Everybody will be strapped with an ERP unit in their wrist probably in future.

Raymond Lim has said that ERP helps Singaporeans to own cars.

So by this tack.... with more gantries, it will be easier to own cars. -
