Hampshire Road To Be Converted To One-Way Traffic On
Sundays Between 6pm To 11pm
1. To facilitate bus
operations that serve the Little India area, the stretch of
Hampshire Road between Rutland Road and Northumberland Road will be
converted to one-way traffic towards Race Course Road on
Sundays from
6pm to 11pm from
1 June 2008.
2. Currently, bus operators
licensed by the Public Transport Council provide point-to-point
services to foreign workers travelling between their dormitories
and Little India.
3. To alleviate traffic
congestion along the two-lane Race Course Road, LTA has designated
several alternate coach points for these bus operators. The
conversion will facilitate the use of Hampshire Road as an
on-street coach point. Other coach-points for pick-up and set-down
activities are also available at Bukit Timah Road, Tekka Lane,
MacKenzie Road and Sungei Road.
4. Besides being an alighting
point, operators will also hold their buses along the 5 coach
points to pick-up the foreign workers to return to their
dormitories.
5. Traffic signs will be
displayed prominently to alert motorists about the new traffic
scheme at Hampshire Road. Motorists from Race Course Road going
towards Kampong Java Road are advised not to turn into Hampshire
Road but instead to use Dorset Road and Bukit Timah Road as an
alternative during the stipulated hours.

attached
maps for more information.
