Recently I have noticed that there are road works in Bedok to narrow a few roads.
Examples are 2 streteches of Bedok North St 3 (one near Bedok North Ave 2 and the other one near Bedok North Ave 1).
They are being converted from 2 lanes to 1 lanes.
also, for the part of Bedok North Ave 1 (near Bedok North Rd), road dividers are constructed and hence making the roads narrower.
It seems strange to me that the roads are being narrowed when cars number are increasing.
does anybody knows the rationale behind the narrowing of the above mentioned road??
