peak hr from east to west, PIE sure jam…

take this new bartley-lornie link no jam….

sinicker SG

i used to go this way... tamp ave 10, airport rd, upper paya lebar, bartley, braddell, lornie, PIE to NTU in the mornings...

but once the lornie/thomson flyover opened, it got worse. real worse.

now i'm back on the PIE paying $1 ERP only to slow down to 20km/h after eunos flyover. sians.

allulu69 SG

Agreed, the lornie/thomson flyover would be worst than usual come Monday morning.

sinicker SG

hello all!

i went for a drive on the fully opened viaduct today.

i went up the upramp on tamp ave 10 at 1411hrs and reached the lornie flyover at 1418hrs. very smooth.. i did about 80-90km/h. and the bartley/sgoon ave 1 traffic light was green for me.

did a u-turn at lornie road and drove back home.

Poolman SG

Ok what . 7 minutes to reach Lornie .

Meaning 10 minutes roughly from Tampines to Pie Lornie Road .

Quite fast .

Poolman SG

I think Peak Hour , it's good to use this road from Tampines > Jurong .

If from Jurong > Tampines , will be very bad .

Without this viaduct , already jam during 4pm to 8pm , now with this viaduct ..... sian la .

I will assess , and let pax knew the situation .

If PIE twds Airport jam , then used Lornie Road .

If PIE no jam , then all the way til KPE > Exit Bartley Road East . No .1

No.2 All the way ...

No.3 .Bedok Reservoir .

All depends which part of Tampines .

Poolman SG

But CCK pax to Tampines or AP , during peak hour , pls try ask them BKE > SLE > TPE ?

I would say many would be glad to use SLE ...same price la .

But rare la , CCK got pax go Tampines .

Unless Tengah Airbase and Police Academy .

Poolman,

i start sch 0830hrs. now i leave home 0715hrs, drive off 0720hrs to reach school (NTU) anytime from 0800 - 0825hrs. sometimes give me two accidents on the PIE, i lambat liao.

Eunos ERP very good. go through gantry at 110km/h also can. up eunos flyover, come down, brake to 20km/h. sian.

last time i always ave 10 > airport rd > upp paya lebar > bartley > lornie > PIE to NTU. this was in aug 08. last time not many ppl use this way leh... still smooth. now with the lornie flyover.. jialat already. i went back to using PIE, stay lane 1 all the way.

going home, let's say end class 1830hrs... i rather stay in sch before gg home. jam very bad. go home by PIE > KJE > BKE > SLE > TPE.

KJE > BKE slip road. queue up 4mins. i see ppl just come in cut queue at the end of the queue. very irritated leh. i prefer to think i was brought up with good manners so i join queue. why TP never do anything one.

want to take train also cannot sit down. i sit down, auntie can tap my shoulder and say, "boy. auntie want to sit down."

sinicker,

u mean after lornie flyover ready more jam? u mean more jam? at lornie rd?

i remember morning lornie rd always jam with or without flyover… cos many north pple avoid CTE and use lornie to connect either to PIE to tuas or Bt Timah/farrer to city….

ALN SG

actually, there is one missing link in SG road… to cut across machite reservoir… e.g. BKE to upp thomson…. but not good for the nature reserve lah unless underground…

ALN SG

if link from BKE to upp thomson is built, evening PIE to BKE, and PIE to lornie will be eased substantially….

alternative is expand PIE to BKE viaduct to 3 lanes… and PIE to lornie viaduct to 2 full lanes….

basically too many cars on SG road….

should keep COE growth at minus 1%.... hahaha

from braddell > lornie got two lane then merge become one lane to join the 3-lane traffic from upper thomson road... that's where the bottleneck is..

sinicker SG

i will try the viaduct to go school tmr. goodnight all.

Teolk SG

today kena call from pasir ris st 51 to NTU

I took the viaduct & pax was surprised how smooth it took.

expected,lornie rd jammed up upon entering pie jurong

but the rest ok...$25.80 total fare exclude the $3.50

if without the jam,this viaduct really rocks! thumbs up

ALN SG

this 2nd PIE solid lah…

but pls dun use… let me use alone… haha

KPE another solid one….

sinicker SG

bro Teolk, what time you get that call?

i took the viaduct from ave 10 at about 0654, enter PIE at lornie 0708. slowdown contributed by parents sending their children to school at maris stella high. 3 lanes, only one lane passable.

reach NTU carpark by 0730.

Teolk SG

about 8am

allulu69 SG

Yeah lah! this afternoon around 1.30 pm, I also got stuck at the viaduct for about 15 mins up to the juction of serangoon ave 1.

LTA/Police must do something about it otherwise after spending so much $ still caused traffic jam.
