Why the road surface in KPE is bumpy ?

[Detion]

Ya, there is alot of specifications, Term and conditions and documents to be submitted before the government contracts are awarded. There will also be a long process of clarification before the contract is awarded.

[Boyboy]

yes but NSH is WAAAAY better than anything we have in SG. unless u count the pre IMF wayang period where the roads here were baby butt smooth for a few months

 

the rest of MY, dun compare la. but city areas not THAT bad when compared to SG. for JB at least it doesn't really lose out tt badly. anyway, we everything world class, why compare with a supposed (according to national ideology anyway) poorer neighbour?

[Shull]

NSH is pay per use..diff..

 

look at jakarta..the quality of their toll is also WAYYYY better than our roads..

this is the same question that the F1 driver said about our track..hehe

[Boyboy]

we also have ERP which is a form of toll mah. not to mention road tax which use or dun use also need to pay

 

actually, my main complaints abt bumpiness would be those expansion joints. my whole car will bounce violently over some of them

 

yes, my suspension is hard. but even those expensive contis bounce noticeably so it's definitely not just my car. ah well.. what to do

[Magfocus]

no, its not your car. It IS bumpy

 

and nowadays, they don't even bother to smoothen it properly for road that was dug up.

 

previously, i tend to prefer to drive on those new resurfaced road.. now, i go for those old ones instead

 

Perhaps its to keep you awake on the KPE, with the ridiculously low speed limit..

[Blackyv]

even the F1 track was a joke if you ask me..

 

yalor... F1 tracks already so bumpy, what makes the peasants think our daily road would be better than the F1 track leh??.....but hor, F1 track user didnt pay ERP but we do, so we should have better road by right.....

[Scion]

agreed...

used KPE twice...

the road is bumpy and my speed is slow, it feels like driving a boat

nearly fell asleep

[Furrynadz]

terrible for those with stiff suspensions

[Magfocus]

I actually avoid KPE if i can, cos its simply too slow.

Actually for road that are dug up, the contractor will have to resurface the whole lane using a Milling machine. There is a LTA standard to follow. The resurfacing might be done at the end of the project or when there is a complaint to LTA. The roads now in Singapore might be very bumpy because there is alot of Newater Infrastructure projects going on,

 

 

I know that there's a requirement to do resurfacing after digging. but the resurfacing done today is terrible compared to last time.

 

Newly resurfaced road is bumpy right from the start. Is there a change in material used?

[Detion]

There should not be any change in material used. It might be the problems of those milling and patching contractor. What we can do is to notify the LTA and maybe they will request the contractor for resurfacing because of lousy quality.

[Modykoh]

concurred !!

 

the finishing is just so bad...

[Blackyv]

yalor..... 70km/h is just too risky for my heavy right foot..... i still have not got a chance to use it yet...... still prefer to go cte way during weekend....

[Mustank]

didnt realised it was bumpy

 

maybe becuase my pigkarp tyre is 255 65 16

[Magfocus]

Actually I'd rather use ECP to TPE all the way...

I had friends whom went to fix cruise control because of KPE.

 

anyway, when I drive at KPE, I encourage everyone to take out their PSP or nintendo DS to play a game or 2 while we let the car go in cruise control mode

agree and LTA agree with you but not the subcontractor..

 

Guess some auditing need to be done if you ask a commoner like me
