More ERP gantries, extended hours from Nov
By Melissa Kok, Reporter
IN A bid to reduce traffic congestion along expressways and roads and encourage commuters to use alternative routes, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is setting up more Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry points, and extending the operational hours of current points.
From Nov 1, the morning Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) hours will be extended from 7am to 11am during weekdays on the south-bound Central Expressway (CTE) for motorists entering CTE from the slip road between Ang Mo Kio 1 and Braddell Road.
Currently, the ERP hours are from 7.30am to 9.30am.
Motorists will also be charged 50 cents for entering the CTE between 7am and 7.30am as well as between 9.30am to 11am.
There will be no changes to ERP charges at the other three gantries on the south-bound CTE.
On the north-bound CTE, a new gantry - north of the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) exit - will be operational between 5.30pm and 10.30pm.
On the east-bound East Coast Parkway, two new gantries have been installed - one before the Rochor Road exit and the other on the Ophir Road slip road.
They will be operational between 6pm and 8pm on weekdays.
On the south-bound Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), a new gantry has also been built after the Dairy Farm exit, before the BKE joins the PIE. It will be operational from 7.30am to 9am.
Five more new gantries are planned. They will be built at Toa Payoh Lorong 6, Upper Boon Keng Road, Kallang Bahru Road, Geylang Bahru Road and Upper Hume Avenue.
The LTA says it will monitor the traffic conditions along those roads. If they do not meet the optimum speeds of above 45kph on expressways and 20kph on other roads, LTA will activate the gantry points.
LTA made these announcements on Thursday following Transport Minister Raymond Lim's visit to the completed first phase of the upcoming Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE). -
retards that still think ERP will deter heavy traffic.

Add to that....Originally posted by FireIce:the "alternative routes" will be jammed

Then more people will jam into the MRTs and buses.
Then they will use it to justify further bus and train hikes.
Damn... I'm really becoming cynical these days. -

extended CBD area? -
got two words big big there, its called OUTER CORDON.Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:why is there a green line there?
extended CBD area?
cordon off an area = dont let pple go in = stupidity -_-
i give up la.. LTA will never learn.. so much for democracy.. when will they ever listen to the public? got hotline everything also no use.. feedback also give u back standard reply..
-_-
poor road design etc. don't want fix. lousy public tpt don't want fix. whole day thinking where to put more ERP only. -
I seriously wondering what's going on in LTA.. look at the poor tree that have to be chopped down also..
pple dont keep to speed limit blame the poor tree then chop it down instead of putting a permanent speed camera -_-
sigh. first world country slowly becoming 3rd world.. maybe one day they'll think how abt lets make the expressway dirt paths instead then pple will drive slow slow then when rain the dirt turn into mud all stay at home expressway no jam onli SUV and 4x4 and heavy vehicles can move -_- -
If it's kept, ppl will kp why 40km/hrOriginally posted by Vigelic:I seriously wondering what's going on in LTA.. look at the poor tree that have to be chopped down also..

but u wan say extended CBD also not wrong.
-
tis is wat u called..pay top dollar for minister to come up with top solutions...
-
Their concern is to save lives so pple dont bang into that tree.. anyway it's only 40kmh for like fifty metres before and after the tree only ma..Originally posted by sbst275:If it's kept, ppl will kp why 40km/hr
Many are into speeding
look at ur speed when u doing a left turn at the junction.. also 40kmh or less ma.. turn liao speed up again right..
same principal la.. u approach the tree area u slow down to 40kmh so camera wont catch u + u dont veer off your lane and hit the tree.. after passing the tree and camera u speed up again la..
how many hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to conserve the tree.. spend a few more thousand to put a camera very hard meh? u chop it down etc. also need pay money wad -_-
the worst part is never ask public for opinion about the tree before chopping down.. ownself decide to chop then announce on news less than one week chop liao.. -
wth, my house is within the green cordon.
so next time when i go home i have to pay.
c* fck. -
