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.
6. Please refer to the attached maps
for more information.
