1. Cross junction at Bugis Junction/
Rochor road
This has been the site of three major accidents within the past
year – first with the Ferrari,
then the
Lexus and, last week, the black
Mercedes. In all these cases, the drivers of the private cars
were known to have exceeded the normal speed limit and beat the red
light.
2. PIE near Clementi Ave 6 exit
Look out for the area from the city at the slip road exit to
Clementi Ave 6, heading to the tunnel and filter exit to the
Commonwealth West road. This stretch of road is regularly congested
due in part to the narrow and short turns and exit along the
stretch. Many heavy vehicles like to use this part of road. It was
here where I witnessed a nasty accident in which a white BMW car
hit the divider between the filter lane and the tunnel. That
happened several months ago.
3. PIE near Simei Road exit
Heading to PIE, the stretch of two lanes merging into one is too
short and near, which may cause drivers to misjudge the distance
and therefore run into accidents. The stretch of PIE roads from
Bedok – Eunos – Paya Lebar – Kallang to CTE is also notorious for
being dangerous during morning/evening peak hours. Many accidents
are known to have occurred there. The same is true for the reverse
route in the evening peak hours (ie: Toa Payoh – Kallang – Paya
Lebar – Eunos). Just a few months ago, my buddy had related to me
that he had seen a pile up of multiple crashed vehicles at Eunos
fly over, causing major traffic jams tailing all the way back to
Thomson fly over area. It was really horrific and he was caught in
it for more than 1 hour.
4. PIE near exit to BKE Woodlands
Heavy jams happen along this stretch, especially during peak hours.
Many frequent accidents occur when filtering to either BKE or
heading to Jurong. During one raining evening, an accident
involving a motor-cycle, lorry, van and car caused traffic to tail
back to Toa Payoh - Kallang area. Traffic was nearly at a
stand-still for at least 1.5 hrs.
5. Lornie Road
Be careful on the stretch of road leading from Braddell, Lornie,
Adam and Farrer Road. Heavy jams beset it during morning peak hours
and same is also true for the reverse route during the evening peak
hours. The roads are widely used by motorists to bypass ERPs along
the CTEs during both morning and evening peak hours. Motorists also
use the stretch of road leading to PIE/ AYE during the morning peak
as well.
6. ECP/ KPE exits near Sheares Bridge
Watch out for the area from the City going up to Benjamin Sheares’
Bridge and down to KPE (Kallang – Paya Lebar Expressway). I have
seen many accidents in the evening peak hours, as many motorists
head home. Traffic jams can easily tail all the way back to the AYE
– Keppel area.
7. ECP along Rochor Road
Especially heavy during morning peak hours heading from Marine
Parade to Rochor exit, this stretch can become really jammed
whenever there is an accident or road works along it. There have
been times when traffic tailed back from Keppel to Bedok when major
accidents occurred.
8. PIE/ KJE at Chua Chu
Kang
The stretch which leads from Bukit Timah/ Bt Panjang/ Chua Chu Kang
has its fair share of accidents, usually involving heavy vehicles
(especially morning and evening peak hours).
9. Yishun Ave and Lentor Avenue
The roads are heavily used by residents in Yishun/ Sembawang,
especially morning peak hours. The reverse is true in the evening
peak hours.
10. Orchard Turn leading to Takashima/
Paragon
This road is heavily used in the late afternoon/ evening peak
hours, and it can turn nasty when accidents have occurred. I can
vividly recall that during Christmas time last year, an accident
involving two vehicles caused traffic to slow to a near
stand-still. It took me more than 30 minutes to go from 313 Mall to
Paragon Mall (whereby the distance between the Mall was less than 1
km).
