Kslow_mmi Clutched November 25, 2009 Share November 25, 2009 If Saturday, mostly causeway will jam, even up to mid night. Take note now is school holiday. But 2nd link should be safe, except weekdays peak hours, most of the time smooth traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilong 2nd Gear November 25, 2009 Author Share November 25, 2009 Ok thanks for all the replies. I would not mind paying more for 2nd link as long as it does not jam up. I guess I will leave malacca by 7pm and be back by 11pm hopefully... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berncsp76 6th Gear November 26, 2009 Share November 26, 2009 hi TS. coming back on sat night should be ok but try not to arrive at custom near to midnight coz the sg side would have less manpower to handle and mostly weekends lots of SGreans gg over for their weekly grocery trips (me included : p) and the jam wll usually start about 11pm onwards. This is the time where ICA guys changing shift too. Also, the boot checking will be more stricter on weekends knowing that we have lots of things cross over from boleh land to SG. Not too sure about 2nd link as I seldom use (too ex la) and nothing to shop within 5km of the MY custom vicinity. But i remember when you reach SG customs the immigration lanes are quite messy if there are jams. Hmm why not enjoy yourself longer at jonker there and come back later so as to maximise the time spent there. Your kids perhaps would also be fast asleep already due to the long car ride.

Tjkbeluga 5th Gear November 27, 2009 Share November 27, 2009 u be wrong bout 2nd link sg custom will most likely be smooth at times.. but just before u reached msia customs... i ever kena... jammed 2 km around the green colour msia road sign till customs 1.5 hours to clear... GOOD LUCK Yea, entering MY via 2nd link can be a horror at times. You can't see the jam until you go down the slope as you cross the 2nd half of the bridge. From that point to the custom is still another 2 km away. Sianz big time. If you are not the hiong type, do go near the left side of the lane. There will be lots of cut queue cars trying to eat into your lane as you reach nearer to the custom. Once someone start to cut queue, quickly another line will form behind this car. It's frustrating at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken4555 1st Gear December 24, 2009 Share December 24, 2009 dear all, .... jams at both links are unpredictable... peak is confirmed crowded... but for off-peak, to many ppl assume its off peak liao so totally unpredictable... a bit of luck is required to avoid a jam... if you need to plan ahead and die die hate jams... try using the ferry service at Tanah Merah... scheduled timings... The ferry operates four times a day and has capacity for 400 passengers and 70 cars on its car deck. www.myoutdoor.com/desaru/gettingthere.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
