Re: Traffic Crawl Along Jalan Boon Lay Towards Jurong Island.

[Mzrmazda3]

For this whole week during morning hours (7 Plus), the jam along Jalan Boon Lay towards Jurong island was always there

 

Traffic came to a snail crawl at times

 

Anybody know Si Mi Dai Chi Boh

 

Or Sing Ga Po Nan are getting richer & richer hence more & more vehicles are on the road these days

[Gary84]

Bro, not that one

 

It's the other way leading from Jurong Point towards the Jurong Island one

 

Before you reach Boon Lay MRT Station, if you turn left at the junction cheonging up towards Jurong Island one

 

The jam though not as worse as the Crossway jam but at times was really crawling

 

Been using that route to lead to AYE all along but it was jus this week which traffic really came to a snail crawl

jurong island bridge jam.

 

i normally go by pioneer road north to jln buroh, but today took the jln boon lay route...jam jam jam

I was thinking there are many factors.

 

1)Raining, so drivers slower.

2)Heavy vehicles now drive on ALL three lanes. Accelerating slowly.

3) Taxis ALWAYS cut in cut out to gain some time, but in fact is causing other vehicles to slow down even more!

 

But I think the main problem is the change in traffic light timings!

4) Change in traffic light timings. It used to be that the traffic lights (along MRT track towards jurong point) has longer red light stoppages. But lately it seems, the traffice light at this huge junction at jurong point towards Jurong island has being adjusted. The direction towards Jurong Islands seems to have longer red light stoppages, thus causing the jam sometimes all the way to Jalan Bahar junction!

aiyo complaint some more...

 

wait the LTA pple... will start to survey to put ERP there .. then u pay more...

wanna drive , jam is a part and parcel.

[Corgan]

more ppl driving into Jurong Island. Bottleneck at Island Checkpoint.

 

They expanded the number of lanes in checkpoint, but road after that still the same, imagine 8 lanes converge into 2 or 3.

[Leepee]

Opps.....

I lost 15mins of my time each day travelling on the said road! How I know?

Because usually I can siam the AYE ERP towards Changi, i.e I go past before 8:00am.

But lately, KNN, I go past the same gantry at ~8:15am.

 

DAMM....must try to reroute next week....maybe go up to pioneer circle to join AYE instead!

[Mzrmazda3]

It was jus this week that traffic starts to get conjested ...

 

What you have mentioned might contributes to part of it too

[Mzrmazda3]

imagine 8 lanes converge into 2 or 3.

 

So jialat

[Meadelx200]

Getting out of Jurong Island (around 6.15pm) to KJE via Jalan Boon Lay normally takes about 20-25 mins under normal work condition.

[Rncw]

pioneer road north towards pioneer circle during 7+...traffice slow moving also..but not as slow as jalan boon lay.

 

only 2 lanes per way....

 

but if really comparing speed...pioneer circle faster

[Mzrmazda3]

Really

 

Maybe, i'm not used to slow traffic crawls like these

[Car_driver]

Maybe due to Shutdown Maintenance for a number of plants in Jurong Island. A lot more contractors' and vendors' lorries and cars going into Jurong Island at the same time since they normally need to reach the worksite before 8 am.

 

The maintenance work should finish by early August, and the traffic should return to normal by then.....

[Mzrmazda3]

Thanks Bro

 

Hopefully so

[Simz333]

Let's not give any ideas to LTA.
