Should the LTA re-design this section of the CTE?

Untitledaccident.thumb.jpg.f2db03512fe2b0f30f2685de5c8d9226.jpg

Posted on Beh Chia Lor's Facebook page is this footage following a chain collision on the Central Tunnel Expressway, which supposedly happened just last evening (24 November 2020), right before the exit towards Upper Serangoon Road (headed towards the City).

From what we can tell from the video, it looks like up to six vehicles where involved in the accident, including one tipper lorry! (watch from the start of the video)

Netizens seem to be in agreement about the danger of the road layout along this section of the CTE...

What do you guys think? Is a re-design in order? Should a highway even allow so many cars to be crisscrossing each other to begin with? Should the section of the PIE that follows after (prior to the exit onto the KPE) be looked into as well? Tell us below!

These roads are designed by LTA scholars lo. They will think it's an ingenious design like no other. You say their road design got problem? They will reply you with a LTA standard reply.

Many drivers like to do last min exit. Cutting 2-3 lanes in short distance and causing other car to e-brake.

I travel to this exit everyday from work at Yishun. Very true that many drivers will cut in at last min to squeeze into the exit towards PIE(Changi).  I tend to keep the lane since AMK Ave 1 exit. Indeed Slower but I don't have to stress about missing the exit.

This stretch can be quite confusing for new drivers but as long as you slow down and watch your mirrors, it should be fine. Most accidents happen because people speed too much.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Mycarforum visits Omoda

    Attendees to this latest Mycarforum hangout event with Omoda got up close to the E5 and Jaecoo J7 and got a few tips on driving an electric car in Malaysia. It may have been close to a month since we visited the Skoda Kodiaq, but our Mycarforum members clearly could not get enough of the opportunity to explore new cars. At least, that's what the turnout at the latest Mycarforum hangout suggested! This new hangout session saw more than 30 of our members heading down to the new Omoda sho

    Sgcarmart goes on an adventure!

The day started off with a quick breakfast right in the lobby of our office, which was

    Disconnecting from Our Virtual Reality

    Recently, I had a scare at work. My laptop was suddenly unable to access the Internet despite working fine the entire day. A check with IT showed that the browser I was using, Arc, had somehow triggered the Falcon cybersecurity program, which promptly locked down my laptop despite the browser having worked fine for almost a year at that point. While I thankfully had cleared out my video backlog before it happened (most of them pending approval, a couple ready to publish), I was unable
