Travellers to Plan Journey when Using Land Checkpoints
All travellers intending to use the Tuas and Woodlands Checkpoints are advised to plan their travel carefully to avoid possible traffic congestion for the period from 28 Oct 2005 to 6 Nov 2005. Traffic volume at the checkpoints is expected to be heavy during this period due to the Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa holidays. For departures, it is expected to start from Friday evening, 28 Oct 2005. For arrivals, travellers can expect traffic to be heavy on Sunday evening, 6 Nov 2005.
2 To avoid the congestion at the checkpoints, travellers are encouraged to car pool or make use of public transport instead.
3 Travellers departing Singapore by land will be able to know in advance the traffic situation at Tuas and Woodlands Checkpoints from the LTA's Expressway Monitoring & Advisory System (EMAS) installed along AYE and BKE respectively.
4 Travellers can also call the Check-Tips Hotline at 6863-0117 to find out the latest traffic conditions at the arrival and departure sections of Tuas and Woodlands Checkpoints. They can also know the latest traffic conditions via Short Message Service (SMS) by dialing *112. This service is provided by Singtel and more information can be found on the website at http://www.ideas.singtel.com.
5 Checkpoint security is important for a safe and secure Singapore. Security checks on passengers and vehicles at the checkpoints have been stepped up to prevent attempts to smuggle in undesirable persons, drugs, weapons, explosives and contraband items. The overriding need to ensure the security of our country may require travellers to put up with a little inconvenience, especially during the coming holiday period. We seek the travellers' understanding on this matter, and hope to have their continued support to help us in ensuring the safety and security of our country. We also seek the travellers' cooperation in not bringing in contraband and restricted items into Singapore, as they may be inconvenienced if they are found to have done so. A list of restricted and controlled items can be found in ICA's Travellers' Info Guide distributed at all our checkpoints and service centres. The list can also be accessed at our website http://www.ica.gov.sg .
