SINGAPORE: Some motorists were not aware that five new Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries were activated on Monday.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said traffic volumes went down at the five gantry locations on the first day of operation. This led to an 8-25 per cent increase in travelling speeds on the affected roads. - CNA "

Overheard..
A few gantries along stretches of road leading to the country's central business distinct shows a remarkable enterprising spirit by the country's management to manage traffic flow and generate positive income.

Gantries erected all over the island however, simply shows a lack of considerable planning and poor judgement.

I hope the next election comes soon.
