Lane closure but no workers in sight....

My complain to LTA... hee hee... happy reading

I would like to make known my disgrunt at the traffic situation this morning along Upper Serangoon Road (towards Woodsville Flyover before the ERP gantry Bendemeer Road).

 

I set off early as usual so to avoid the rush hour jam and avoid ERP charges at the said gantry (I believe most motorist on the road at that point of time is like-minded with me). The moment we hit the stretch of road near Woodleigh MRT station, traffic start to come to a crawl. The usual 3 mins drive from that point to the ERP gantry became a 15 mins drive. Why? It was because 1 lane along Upper Serangoon Road (after Poton Pasir MRT) was closed. There were LTA cones placed along that road but no road diversion signs. Adding insult to injury, there wasn't a single worker on the closed road... ain't the lane closure supposed to mean so form of road works was supposed to be carried out? I would have taken a photo if I could. Perhaps you can go take a look now... mostly likely still no workers there.

 

The clock showed 730am and the 4-lane road became 2 lanes, coz 1 lane was closed for god-know reasons and 1 lane became the bus lane. Due to the congestion, motorist like me who set off ealry ended up paying the ERP charges. So, is the LTA (or rather the main contractor) going to reimburse us the ERP charges? Most likely not right? But for courtesy sake, at least post the lane closure situation on one.motoring.com's traffic news. So that motorist can choose an alternate route.

If it's just cones, why didn't anyone get off their car and move them aside?

Remember seeing somewhere before (STOMP?), that some youngster eat full nothing to do.

Place cone in the middle of road and had a good laugh see motorist having U turn upon seeing the cones.
