That stretch of tampines road normally is smooth. Human and vehicle traffic is usually quite low and its one of the easiest to manage stretch of the road.
I happen to pass by the stretch on my way to Punggol on 2nd Dec. There are tons of people going there. There was a traffic jam caused by the long long long long line of cars and buses trying to get into that small road that leads up to Ikea.
I wonder what's so nice about shopping and looking at some furniture, especially when the place is so cramp with so many people. Even if there are good deals, I still don't like to buy things when there are a thousand people josling around.
So did you guys have an outing there and add to the traffic jam at Ikea?
