  I dunno wat's going on

  At 1st usually is SMRT bus drivers just force their way to turn right to Scotts Rd using e 4th lane (3rd {most left for turning right} and 4th lane seperated by double parallel white line), now even Express 502 drivers forcing their way thru

  tat same goes to me spotting 1 SBS ADD illegally using 2nd lane to turn right from Lor 2 TAP to TAP Central. The driver just switched from turning lane to proceeding straight lane before tat... tis was last week

  for both cases, if there's m'bike how? langa and tat poor fellow might end up dead

  Dun wanna think, but Ah Tiongs?

  There's no B signals there. What's there to function? nenepokey has nicely told you to go down and have a look. It seems like you are clearly ignorant of what he said.

  Victoria School there also have, always bus need to filter from 2nd lane to bus bay in just few meters, just because of inconsiderate people whom like to drop their child at the bus stop there....sad

  with the road works at paterson road, there's nothing that can be done.. maybe a better timing for the two traffic lights along orchard blvd/paterson rd & the paterson rd/orchard rd/scotts rd junction.
  
  already, pedestrians are complaining that the green man is too fast for those crossing from wheelock place to wisma atria.. they want a longer green man time.
  
  a longer green man time for this would only mean more occurences of 167 190 502 turning as such.

  i believe its also the trucks outside ion that is causing obstructions to traffic turning to scotts road..

  many cut to the innermost lane also and obstruct traffic flow esp the 190 bendies. the temporary diversion adds turning there more problematic.

  overall the traffic light timing where they allow buses at paterson going straight and 105 and 132 to turn right into orchard blvd portion can be reduced.

  they have moved them to orchard turn and minimised the number of trucks turning in and out of orchard blvd during peak hours and weekends.
