  Where are the roads due to road conditions, cannot allow the deployment of DD for trunk services?
  
  24,27,36,53-Due to Changi Airport height restriction
  42,317,92-Due to too narrow bungalow roads area
  401-Due to narrow East Coast Service Road
  200-Due to winding South Buona Vista Road
  11,16-Due to Stadium area height restriction
  
  40-Due to winding Siglap Road
  
  90,94-Due to Paya Lebar A/P Height Limit ?
  
  What about other roads for the rest of buses?Only due to road conditions and not the demand pls.

  19 has no problem getting DDs.. just that SBST refused to deploy them. 90 and 94 have no height limit. LO2x were deployed on 90 before.
  
  All services plying Henderson Rd between Telok Blangah Rd & Bt Merah Central doesnt have DDs. 132 is the only service on Henderson Rd with DDs.

  Does the width of the roads really affect the DDs?

  actually Svc 11 is not subject to any height restrictions, it's jus that its low/seasonal demand does not require DDs to be deployed.

  the full list of roads where there's height restriction can be found here. Note that this list is extensive and many height restrictions are actually more than 4.5m, so it may take a while to read it.

  First, thank you for the list. Comments below.
  
  There is no bus service which plies Jalan Sayang.
  
  Leyland Atlanteans used the slip road when Service 8 was in existence (Bedok - Marina Centre).
  
  Cheers and warm regards

  Look at number 675 (Lor 6 Toa Payoh Block 192), maximum headroom is 4.4m for a pedestrian overhead bridge.

  28 Mar 04, 06:06

  I think Pasir Ris Rd (service 403) is not suitable for DD due to the narrowness of the road.

  No wonder I find the Overhead Bridge rather low. It doesnt look 4.5m despite the sign saying it so.
• service_238

  28 Mar 04, 11:06

  It seems like there're many places which the restriction height is 5.0m and above.

  Narrowness and the sharpness of a particular bend near Carpark D.

  The one at TPY Swimming Complex? It looks all right to me, but leaves little headroom for DDs.

  updated the list..
  
  as for the rochor rd slip rd, if u've boarded svc 36, the single-deck buses seem to have a hard time trying to climb up the head, so i thought it's really a bad idea to get a double-decker to do the climb.. did svc 8 leyland atlanteans climb up from republic boulevard or beach rd?

  OH yes, the Mk IVs get breathless climbing up that incline.

  But in the other direction (ie. going down the slope), it's another story.
