The Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries at Nicoll Highway and Crawford Street will be relocated in April, as part of changes to the Bugis-Marina Centre cordon. The existing gantry at Republic Boulevard will be removed. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Wednesday that motorists who access East Coast Parkway via Nicoll Highway won't have to pay ERP charges at the Bugis-Marina Centre cordon. Works to relocate the gantries will begin from Thursday and are expected to be completed by mid-April. During this period, motorists will see two separate ERP gantries at the two locations.

Front View: Rear View: Used to be only taxi uncles to pull such last minute stunts. Now even youngster also do that.

The nerd who was driving silver Lancer who exited from KPE at Nicoll Highway @ 35-40km/h and continued on the RIGHT LANE of Nicoll Highway at 40-50km/h while ON THE FREAKING PHONE! I was the Blue car which horned and high beam at you! You were hogging a whole load of cars and caused so many people behind you to overtake dangerously on the left! WAKE UP YOUR IDEA! Wait for TP letter, I got video of you on the phone taken by my passenger. I am willing to testify!

Managed to record this interesting scene. I saw this lady cyclist on Nicoll Highway towards City direction on Thursady morning. The way she rode was very unstable. For a moment I was wonderig if bicycles are allowed on highway but what a heck... While I turned right at the Nicoll Highway and Middle Road junction, you could see that she performed a "drift" and suddenly cut into my way. Fortunately I anticipated her move and slowly moved behind her. Then while I was on Seah Street and about to North Bridge Road and while I was queuing behind a Comfort taxi, what happend later was even more amazing. She rode past my car from the right and drifted into the North Bridge Road (view partially blocked by the taxi in front of me) into the busy traffic. You could see a while car and another grey car dashed past and nearly bumped into her. I could even hear a loud horn, probably from the white car. What an interesting morning...

Hi all, witnessed an accident along Nicoll Highway today (23 Oct, 7.55am), before the first Suntec entrance (if you are familiar with that area). 3 vehicles for my story, vehicle A (Light Blue Peugot 206, car plate SFC706*), vehicle B (Blue Comfort cab, too busy avoiding vehicle to take down license plate), and vehicle C (California laundry van, license plate YM1909*). The scenerio was as follows: B was travelling behind A along Nicoll Highway, and I was behind B. We were all driving along lane 2, which is the centre as Nicoll Highway is a 3 lane highway. Suddenly, C who was on lane 3 (left-most lane) swerved out into A's path. A tried to avoid C, and braked hard. Poor B, tried to e-brake but could not in-time, and rammed into A's boot (or no boot as it was a 206...). Luckily I wasn't following too closely, and could brake nicely. I almost got rammed in my butt too by Mr Estima following close behind me, so I hit my horn to catch his attention. Luckily he noticed and swerve to avoid me successfully. The crux of it all, C happily drove off as though nothing happened, leaving poor A and B behind to pick up the pieces. What a morning.... Please PM me if it's one of you or your friends involved in the accident. I can be witness :) And just to make it more interesting, I'm gonna do a poll to survey on who's fault you think it is.... And you can select multiple choices too. After all, there could be multiple parties at fault right? Enjoy!!

hmm is there an exit to nicoll highway from the ECP bound KPE when it opens on 20 Sep? it's on the official map found on the official kpe website but so far i havent seen any opening along the expressway to suggest there's such an exit?

Beware of speedcam on the bridge near Concourse along Nicoll Highway in the direction of Geylang. I just saw it around 9.30 am today.

well, it was this hot sunday afternoon and i saw a TP in uniform standing in the middle of the road divider trying to hide under the shade of the traffic light at the junction. He was looking around and keep on writing in his notepad... anyone know what's he doing there?... just seems very strange to have him standing there...

I just witnessed this tonight. Around 7:30 pm... I was waiting for the traffic light to change at Nicoll Highway (3rd lane from the left), towards Guilemard Road. It was quite dark already, and I was kinda tired. Then I suddenly heard loud revving from behind in the adjacent lane, followed by loud screeching....and I see 2 headlights stopping inches away from my rear left bumper. Followed by another set of screeching tyres...scrambling for traction as the other car purposely overtook the stopped car from the left most lane. The car that had stopped inches away from me immediately took off with a screech of tyres. Now I was able to see clearly that the car that stopped next to me was a purple 91-94 Elantra, and the other one was a silver 96-00 Lancer. They carried on racing towards Guilemard Road, and I followed (not speeding) at a distance, watching the spectacle unfold before my eyes. I told my wife (who was busy reading something) that we might be able to witness an accident, and reassuring her that we would not be part of it. 300m along Guilemard Road, the pair of cars drifted in and out of the right and centre lanes. and Suddenly the Elantra (who was behind) accelerated in front of the Lancer and immediately braked (smoke, screeching and all). The Lancer driver braked and immediately swerved to overtake on the left. But the Elantra straight away gunned his car in front of the Lancer (by cutting into the left lane) and braked again. He waited a couple of seconds, and took off with a lot of wheelspin,...only to brake 20m in front. The Lancer decided to wait at a distance...and I lost sight of them as I carried on home. All the other cars following in the first 2 lanes also came to a halt...as they wanted to avoid getting involved. However, there was a motorcycle rider (on a Super4) who was so pissed off at them that he cut in front of the Elantra and sped off, only slowing down as he came parallel with me. I wonder if they kept their stand off or if they carried on like this... (anyone else saw this?) I suppose that along Nicoll Highway one of them must have cut in front of the other, and then they carried on this tit-for-tat game... I did notice a pair of lights that were coming quite fast behind me.... but the cars didn't catch up with me, so I didn't think much about it. Happy to say... I was not involved
