LTA never analysis why the speed fallen? Many times i find heavy traffic and jams along road is due to the road design and capacity of the road, also the setting of the traffic lights if for normal road.

SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is evaluating whether to introduce Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) at the entrance of the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel heading towards the city in a bid to ease traffic congestion.

 

The KPE is a major expressway used by residents of the north-eastern part of Singapore, including towns like Sengkang and Punggol, to get to the city.

 

In a news release on Friday (Sep 30), LTA noted that traffic speeds along the stretch of KPE between the Tampines Expressway and Airport Road have "persistently fallen below the optimal speed range" of 45km/h to 65km/h for expressways during the morning peak hours on weekdays. This has led to "significant and persistent traffic congestion", it said.

 

To mitigate the congestion, the authority said it is evaluating whether to activate the existing ERP gantry situated just before the KPE tunnel entrance after the Tampines Road entry slip road.

 

LTA noted that it has been improving public transport options to cater to the growing population in the north-east area of Singapore and encourage public transport usage.

 

For example, it said that residents in Punggol are currently served by City Direct Service 666, which brings them directly to and from the Central Business District during morning and evening peak periods.

 

Two new City Direct bus services, under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme, will also be introduced from the fourth quarter of 2016 to serve those living in Buangkok, Sengkang and Hougang, the authority said.

 

In addition, LTA revealed that 15 new trains have been recently added to the North East Line. "This will help reduce crowding and shorten wait times, especially during peak periods," it said.

 

In the longer term, the North East Line extension to Punggol North, and the Cross Island Line (CRL), will provide more direct connections across the eastern and western parts of Singapore. LTA said this would significantly reduce shorten journey times to other parts of the island.

Of course not... LTA doesn't care that they put the expressway entrance at a steep down slope, then put up signs saying slow down, then ownself analyse ownself and say road speed too low, need to charge ERP.

1. Because COE quota too much ald, time to reduce

 

2. Uber/Grab causing congestion as they travel more on the road compared to private cars

 

3. Slow growth of road network (no choice too dense ald)

 

4. Road hogger issue including truck or lorry in 2nd lane.

 

5. Make public transport cheaper and more reliable

Persistent meh?

 

Last time when I ride my bike during morning peak hours I also persistently hit 90km/h. But ERP price never fall leh

 

ERP can only increase, cannot decrease. If now CTE morning persistently 100km/h, it means ERP is working, keep up the good work! If now CTE morning persistently 50km/h, it means ERP not enough, time to review!

SINGAPORE: From next Monday (Feb 20), two Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries along the east-bound Pan Island Expressway (PIE) will be activated in the evenings to ease congestion, announced the Land Transport Authority (LTA) after completing its quarterly review.

The two gantries are located after Adam Road and at the Mount Pleasant slip road into PIE (Changi).

In a news release on Monday (Feb 13), LTA explained that traffic conditions along the east-bound PIE during the evening peak hours have deteriorated in recent years.

“In particular, east-bound PIE near Adam Road and Mount Pleasant have experienced heavy congestion, with traffic speeds significantly below the optimal range of 45kmh to 65kmh, going in fact below 40kmh,” said LTA.

The LTA also announced that ERP rates at two gantries along the north-bound Central Expressway (CTE) will go up by S$1 during the evening peak period between 6pm and 8pm.

The revised rates at the gantries - both after the PIE - also take effect next Monday.

Meanwhile, works have started to prepare for the activation of an ERP gantry at the Tampines slip road into KPE (ECP), just before the tunnel entrance of the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE).

LTA has been looking into the need to manage traffic congestion along the stretch of the south-bound KPE during the weekday morning peak hours. It said its review found that traffic speeds along this stretch have consistently remained below the optimal speed range of 45kmh to 65kmh, dipping to as low as 30 kmh.

LTA added that it will continue to monitor the traffic speeds along KPE in the next quarter, before finalising the ERP operating hours and rates.

The second quarterly ERP rate review for 2017 will take place in May, said LTA.
