Sengkang very difficult to master the place

last SG · 2012-09-11T02:54:47+00:00

TP also told me usually at KPE, like I said earlier, motorist who enter KPE might be travelling at 90 or 100 and cruise in, every entry of KPE got camera fla...

Not difficult lah....

Start by remembering sk is divided into 4 bands: (jln kayu) fernvale, (sungei punggol) anchorvale, (sengkang east road) compassvale (punggol road) & rivervale (sengkang east drive).

Until today, I'm having problems with woodlands: drives, ave, street, ring, crescent, circle??!!

Drives in woodlands

woodlands drive 6X(means u acces from woodlands ave 6)

woodlands drive 7X( means u access from woodlands ave 7)

woodlands drive 1X (means u access from woodlands ave 1)

okay...u can determine which side is woodlands dr 60? 61?

even drive nos on one side, odd ones on the other.

Ring,crescent,circle

Avenues in Woodlands

Woodlands ave 1,3,5,7,9 is the east-west running road .

ave 1 is the one closest to SLE, serves HDB block number 3XX and 4XX

ave 3 is located at western woodlands(marsiling MRT that side), serves blk 1XX and marsiling estate near checkpoint.

ave 3,5,7 think of them as the wings of causeway point ave 3 on the west(marsiling HDBs ,woodlands blk 1XX,3XX,4XX) and ave 5,7 on the east(blk 5XX,6XX,7XX,8XX).

ave 9 runs on RP that side and it serves blk 7XX.

ave 1,3,5,7,9. Just rmb ave 1 is the closest to SLE followed by 3,5,7, then ave 9(RP).

ave 2,4,6,8,10,12 same principle but they are north-south running road.

ave 2 starting from SLE, the ave 4,6 and so on until ave 10,12 which is next door to sembawang.

Enjoy speeding on ave 12 btw..

Streets in Woodlands

eg. Woodlands street 11,12,13. they are called st 1X. street 1X means the first number of the block number they serve...eg. st 1X serves blk 1XX,st 2X serves blk 2XX ,st 3X serves blk 3XX and so on.

AMK,Tampines also same.

CCK dun quite follow the system.

Bedok though have names in street but completely different system esp. in bedok north.

Rings,crescent,circle

woodlands rings serves block 6XX which the area itself is more closer to SLE woodlands ave 12 exit. they are surrounded by woodlands Dr XX which i mentioned eariler on.

woodlands circle serves blk 7XX likewise they are surrounded by woodlands Dr XX.

same for woodlands crescent which is more nearer to sembawang that side.

U all go study the online SG map regularly take note of patterns in the numbering of HDB blocks. Usually the run either clockwise(so far only Yishun having this pattern) or counter-clockwise.

kengkia SG

For topic proper, hammer already mention -vale serves what blk numbers.

sengkang east ave is the road parallel to buangkok dr and it's the closest to buangkok drive as well. it mostly serves blk 10X,11X,20X,21X.

Important to take note in SK, the smallest blk numbers located nearer to sengkang east ave, and the largest number(eg.19X,29X) located in their respective crescents near the TPE. Streets and crescents serves the larger block number

again study the online SG map for the numbering patterns for the blocks

Poolman SG

In fact , most passenger knew we are no good at Sengkang , so they will tell us turn left turn right go straight instructions .

hammerhammer8888 SG

Kengkia....you forgot....Woodlands if StXX is Marsiling MRT side.....Drive XX ia Admiralty MRT side with Causeway Point Woodlands MRT reference in the middle.....

kengkia SG

yup...streets only in western woodlands, and drives only in eastern woodlands with CWP in centre..and also woodlands N8 being served by st XX also.

kengkia SG

sengkang not so easy to master cause got alot of rds wind here n there,

punggol is easier cause all in grids....... horizontal or vertical rds cut thru

the whole town . u juz need to know punggol field, punggol central

n punggol drive. all the subs rds cut across these 3 rds so if u travel

on any of the 3 rds confirm u will see for example edgefield plains then

frm there u can start to look for the blocks.

to me only the part of compassvale area near compass point is confusing still...

hammerhammer8888 SG

If u guys prepare to sweep whoever on sight , no one in particular , event u sweep an Ah Neh , be prepare to go Rivervale Cresent , those FT Indians' favourite home ground .

So i interview Ah Neh ..... most likely Sengkang , then take behind taxi .

At Serangoon Plaza or Mustapha Centre , anyhow throw one stone , the Ah Neh who got hit by the stone , u ask him : " Neh , go where ?"

"Sengkang ! " Surely one .

So in the end ... let CDG take them .

Cos they surely call a Comfort .

When they need a cab , i let CDG deal with them .

Aiya not all neh SK HG SMLJ KANG.....Just last week....I empty cab go down Jalan Besar sat evening cos LV679 jio Dim Sum at Swee Choon....not intent to drive so anyhow wear sandals and T shirt....after makan 8pm++ put change shift AMK go via Desker Road intent to pick one neh to whatever KANG.....Then before turning out to Serangoon got one neh at the grocery store with a lot of groceries flag me....KNN sianzzz so point up roof top AMK he still thumbs up....So play safe open window ask him if no AMK sure get @&%#$ by me....so many things still thumbs up me AMK....."Neh....AMK leh....no HG SK ok....."......."Errrr.....uncle....Tagore Lane can or not?" he paiseh paiseh.....

KNN WAH LAN EH!!!! GU LAN KAR LOUD!!!! I quickly tell him....kin kin.....Lol....Why so happy? FYI now I not stay Thomson Hill.....temp stay [email protected] send neh back one turn reach home liao....SONG SONG GAO TAGORE!!!! LOLLLL

PS2U SG

of all the hsg estates Sengkang is the most diffcult to memorise all the road names!the roads are not systematic and don't follow a pattern.Sengkang East Way,EAst rd,sengkang sq,comassvale lane,anchorvale link,rivervale walk,fcukng difficult to memorise!

I live in Hougang. Not far off. I face same problems. Don't be discouraged bro. Learning takes time.

PS2U SG

becos as a TD i understand.... i have book a cab whenever i need to go home to sk. (when im not driving)

and i only call silvercab or lakeview cos they reveal destinations to td.

can u imagine i kena few times call comfort.. the drivers turn sour after i say go sk. wtf... wanna drive cdg take calls prepare to get sk cck places ma.

Good point. Who to blame? Driver or company?

PS2U SG

Pax who are Resident there is ok, it is those who r visiting relatives or friends once a year and they themselves also not so sure, knn, that one seibei cham. However, slowly we learned, taxi driver like me from the west mostly scare of going there, but I told myself, like it or not must go, no go, no learn, go, can learn. So now, I learned

GPS HELPS!

Taxi Driver can only remember shortest way to estate. Not to block number.

PS2U SG

"Sengkang ? I not so well verse , u know the way , right ?"

Hahahah "if not take the taxi behind " .

Like that how you learn? Thought you got photographic memory!

Ohyaitsme SG

Yeah GPS really assist me take all the current. Bookings especially those condo i never heard B4 like infinia At wee nam road... The legend at bukit timah... Parc oasis at jurong east... Toho mansion at holland road... Where got time check street directory find condo names...

time is $$$$!

foolsh_2000 SG

to take current booking,punch in postcode and just follow GPS,all my bookings i use GPS to guide me!even those condos i go before but sometimes different block,GPS will help u find!

OptimalTrans SG

The thing about Singapore Road, there is no fix logic to follow, difference estate use difference "logic" or even no logic.

So, it is very difficult to fully know all the road.

Maybe the logic is, make us drive till blur blur, Jam till blur blur and then we will also blur blur ........ pay money, pay more money.

Terry Young SG

used to skip pgl and sk. but now realise can get back to cbd within 15 min so take.

you must know where the kpe cameras are!

Tzarh SG

Where are the KPE cameras??

OptimalTrans SG

Where are the KPE cameras??

about 200m to 300m after the warning sign

it's a slow down sign too

bowah SG

Where are the KPE cameras??

KPE just drive at 70 to 80 can already, it is not about the camera alone, it is also about accident, touch wood, one accident inside KPE alone is going to make you at the focus of LTA and Traffic police, they are so worry of jam at KPE< even tolling your vehicle out also difficult
