Accident at Woodlands Regional Interchange

off_service SG

I find the entrances and exits of WRI and the 2 respective junctions are poorly designed. I've taken few bendys which skidded upon turning out towards the exit (lucky did not crash) and also buses with new drivers who tried to beat the wrong traffic light.

I think most of you realise the exits are.. right lane to go straight and left lane to turn left (via zebra crossing) and right (via traffic light). Either way, vehicles from each direction were seemingly ready to make a dash past the traffic light. I think there are too many turns (the one into WRI extremely misleading) available for one junction.

I think what's most common are car owners driving their vehicles into WRI. Some were so lost that they circled the interchange couple of times or ended up at parking bay.

I wonder how the design came about in the first place.

WRI is SMRT heaven... they literally ignore the speed limit and rush out of the interchange.

169 buses are very chiong-able. I think because tight schedules.

SMRT BUS DRIVER BASHED UP AT AMK INTERCHANGE

"... Mr Ho said he felt well enough to finish the 50-minute journey from Ang Mo Kio bus interchange to Woodlands bus interchange.

'I didn't think it was so serious. We run on a tight schedule and all I could think of was to hurry for the next service..."

Sometimes there a bendy waiting to turn right & block those buses going straight out from WRI.

The traffic light at that junction also very confusing...

no excuses abt tight schedule which ends up with e lives of passengers at stake... no accident fine and well... if there's langa how?

I'm not blaming e drivers, it's e mgmt ppl...

I guess you want busted axles. Not good on a bendy, but worse on a DD.

If they go slow, will this problem exist ? Answer is no. I guess, you should ask youself again of what is the primary objective of having a hump installed along the roads. Since people cant obey simple rules being set in place and people are actually getting hurt. In the long run, it does help the people by installing humps near the curve before the exit before more people are hurt due to irresponsible drivers or people actually do get killed. This is the problem for SIngapore. Problem is alrdy there but dont want to solve it. Must wait till people get killed or seriously injured, then we have a group of people trying to argue their way through in a room finding ways to fix the problem which has already been surfaced loooooong time ago.

if everyone follow e speed limit and take caution in the interchange there would be lesser probability of accidents

Sometimes I wanna laugh abt having a panel if there's an accident to look into 'improvements'... actually it's all because of ppl's attitude
