Speed Limit on Nicoll Highway...
-
was travelling from the east to suntec 2 nites ago... decided to take PIE, exit paya lebar and then go on nicoll highway... gosh... realised the speed limit for the road is only 50km/hr.... was practically crawling along with abt 4 vehicles around me... everybody kept to the speed limit... which is a gd thing.... but i told myslf i'll try other routes to suntec next time...
anyone with any idea why the limit's set at 50km/hr? is it becos the roads r not safe yet for high speed travelling after the collapse? -
Nicoll Highway is 70km/hr lah...
What you are talking abt maybe it is because of the CCL worksite near-by
-

depends on the time, its actually safer to go slow on that stretch... got 2 surprisingly steep bends.Originally posted by speedygonzales:was travelling from the east to suntec 2 nites ago... decided to take PIE, exit paya lebar and then go on nicoll highway... gosh... realised the speed limit for the road is only 50km/hr.... was practically crawling along with abt 4 vehicles around me... everybody kept to the speed limit... which is a gd thing.... but i told myslf i'll try other routes to suntec next time...

there was a time i forgot about the limits and gone too fast... was quite lucky there wasnt too much cars so i was able to use up 2 lanes instead of 1 during the turns.
that time still got some kid in honda civic try to tail me. siao one.
i think his balls dropped when he saw all my 4 brake lights light up.
anyway... just don't speed on that stretch. not safe.

u must be talking abt the bend towards suntec right?Originally posted by johncooper:i see Getz and BMW 520 spun out before almost bang the center divider hor ...
these cars are supposed to handle well
must be comfort tyres or oversteering. anyway, i agree that stretch better dun play play.... coz u wont know if the metal flooring got spilled water or if it was just drizzling earlier on. -
yeah ... is kinda lucky that i was kinda far behind so i can brake in time ... and on hazard lites to warn others .. whoa it was darn a sight manOriginally posted by ronnie_2600:u must be talking abt the bend towards suntec right?
