With the implementation of the new ERP criteria in the city centre and the addition of 5 new gantries along the Singapore River
Line, data collected on the first day showed an improvement in travel speeds and traffic conditions.
Along the Singapore River, the 5 new gantries have been effective in cutting down through traffic from 6pm to 8pm.
Traffic volume dropped by about 30 per cent, and consequently, traffic speeds improved by 9 to 35 per cent, from below the threshold speed of 20 kph before implementation of the 5 new ERP gantries, to between 22 kph and 26 kph, which is within the optimum speed range of 20kph to 30kph.
For the entire CBD Cordon, speeds between 6 pm to 8 pm had also gone up, by
9 to 15 per cent,
to between 21 kph and 22 kph.
While traffic conditions will take time to settle, it is nevertheless
an encouraging sign. LTA will continue to monitor traffic
conditions closely.
