Where are the roads due to road conditions, cannot allow the deployment of DD for trunk services?

24,27,36,53-Due to Changi Airport height restriction
42,317,92-Due to too narrow bungalow roads area
401-Due to narrow East Coast Service Road
200-Due to winding South Buona Vista Road
11,16-Due to Stadium area height restriction

40-Due to winding Siglap Road

90,94-Due to Paya Lebar A/P Height Limit ?

What about other roads for the rest of buses?Only due to road conditions and not the demand pls.

Did 100 plies Jln Sultan?
Sv 63-Hoy Fatt Rd/Rumah Tinggi

19 has no problem getting DDs.. just that SBST refused to deploy them. 90 and 94 have no height limit. LO2x were deployed on 90 before.

All services plying Henderson Rd between Telok Blangah Rd & Bt Merah Central doesnt have DDs. 132 is the only service on Henderson Rd with DDs.

SBS9818A SG

Sv. 100, Sv. 135, Sv. 155 due to trees at Aljunied Rd.

SBS9818A SG

Sv. 100, Sv. 135, Sv. 155 due to trees at Aljunied Rd.

service_238 SG

Upper Aljunied Rd to be exact. SBS135 had LA buses before.. but then again the trees are much older now..

SBS9818A SG

Sv. 156 due to trees at Sixth Ave.

Does the width of the roads really affect the DDs?

freakybuses SG

73, 105, 159 cannot use DDs as the height limit from Braddel to Lor Chuan onli 3.8m.

^tamago^ SG

actually Svc 11 is not subject to any height restrictions, it's jus that its low/seasonal demand does not require DDs to be deployed.

^tamago^ SG

the full list of roads where there's height restriction can be found here. Note that this list is extensive and many height restrictions are actually more than 4.5m, so it may take a while to read it.

Thanks for the insights! Gladly appreciate it Very Happy

Superbus SG

First, thank you for the list. Comments below.

There is no bus service which plies Jalan Sayang.

Leyland Atlanteans used the slip road when Service 8 was in existence (Bedok - Marina Centre).

Cheers and warm regards

tranquilice SG

Look at number 675 (Lor 6 Toa Payoh Block 192), maximum headroom is 4.4m for a pedestrian overhead bridge.

tranquilice SG

I think Pasir Ris Rd (service 403) is not suitable for DD due to the narrowness of the road.

service_238 SG

No wonder I find the Overhead Bridge rather low. It doesnt look 4.5m despite the sign saying it so.

service_238 SG

It seems like there're many places which the restriction height is 5.0m and above. Shocked
