The Land Transport Authority (LTA), Traffic Police (TP) and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) are conducting a 3-month trial traffic diversion scheme, which aims to provide a smoother traffic flow to residents in Woodlands. Residents living in the Woodlands area, students taking school buses, commuters using public buses and motorists visiting the area for other activities are expected to benefit from the easing of congestion due to the scheme.

2 Motorcycles and heavy vehicles (with the exception of SBST and SMRT buses, and school buses) are currently not allowed to turn right into the Woodlands Checkpoint from Woodlands Centre Road at all times. Under the new traffic scheme to be implemented from Monday, 15 September 2008, 4 pm onwards, all other vehicles (except for SBST and SMRT buses, and school buses) will be restricted from turning right into the Woodlands Checkpoint from Woodlands Centre Road during peak hours. The restriction hours for the various types of vehicles are summarized below:

3 During these periods, motorists from Woodlands Centre Road wanting to enter the Woodlands Checkpoint will not be allowed to turn into Woodlands Crossing. Instead, they should proceed straight into Old Woodlands Road or to BKE; these roads will serve as the alternative routes during the stipulated hours.

4 Traffic signs will be displayed prominently at Woodlands Centre Road and along all roads leading to the Checkpoint to alert motorists of the new traffic scheme. Traffic Police officers will also be deployed at the traffic junctions and along these roads to guide motorists during the initial implementation period.

5 For enquires about the scheme, please contact LTA at 1800-225 5582.
