just to share. Was entering the CTE towards city via the sliproad along Yio Chu Kang road this morning when I saw a overturned truck a few cars in front of me. Traffic along the sliproad was at a stand-still. Reason being that the truck has blocked almost the whole road, leaving a gap that only a trishaw can pass through. [inline 1st.jpg] This sliproad was particularly long, maybe 200m or so, and has 2 entrances. Therefore, you can imagine the jam. Being at the front of the jam, and having no way to go through, a brave taxi mounted the kerb using his right tyres, and squeezed his way through. See the picture. You can still see the cab driving off. I was not going to risk my car on the kerb, and had to reverse all the way out of the sliproad. A few other cars copied the taxi's great escape, but I wondered how many made it through safely. Of note, I would like to praise a gentleman in a green polo shirt, driving a black Peugeot. He helped to divert the traffic out of the sliproad, and even stayed on to prevent more vehicles from entering even after all the vehicles have left. I know cos I was at the front of the jam, therefore to reverse out, I would be one of the last to leave. He was still there diverting the traffic then.

Hi mcfers, Happy valentine's day to all. Recently, we drove back home entering CTE towards SLE @ AMK ave 1 sliproad ard 6pm, notice there are 3-4 ppl standing by the roadside (grass patch) holding onto a clipboard with papers attach and scribble something onto the clipboard.. and yesterday ard 1pm entering the CTE towards city @ amk ave 3 also saw some ppl standing by the side. And when we drove pass the next CTE entrance, also saw some ppl standing by the side doing the same thing. ANYONE here notice this strange encounter of mine?? Cheers.
