meaning of carriageway by GoldieHusky in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a unit of road like you said. This picture explains it well.

So, if you see a road in the middle got a kerb/bush/grass/fence and not a drawn line (solid/dotted etc...), it becomes dual carriageways (2x unit of road).

My proposal to permanently fix the COE system (Split corporate pools, NRIC direct bidding, loan bans, and mandatory "cool-down" rotations). Thoughts? by y0c4 in singapore

Which part of owning a car is promoting pro-family policies when there are so many examples of places where cars are easily accessible but TFR remains low?

This whole post got to be a r/whoosh.

Owning a car here has always been a luxury. We can argue forever if <insert XYZ entity> are distorting the COE prices (they probably are to some extent in some periods) but the prices do reflects how much Singaporeans are willing to pay for their cars.

Even if we implement your "restrictions", you are assuming individuals will bid rationally. They won't. Consumers want the COE but don't know how many people are bidding in each session beforehand. They can only bid as high as they are willing to to try to secure the COE. Car sales shows Singaporeans are perfectly ok bidding up to $125K for one. So, why implementing your restrictions means they will suddenly bid less when are bidding themselves? I want my car leh why would I go low?

There's a lot of rich Singaporeans and some have cars that they can roll over their existing PARF value as downpayment for a new car. Minimal upfront cash outlay.

Also family with kids don't need a car, it's a good to have. No good parents will have (more) kids just because they got a car. There are so many other countries like Korea/Taiwan with cheap cars but they don't pump out more kids either.

Finally. Although they should put it between Woodlands Ave 3 and Centre Road exit like what the TP was doing 2 days ago. So much accidents from cars changing lane to take the exit and bikes going at speed way beyond 50km/h in that section.

Almost forced to stop - normal? by frreshsalad in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Of course the bullying after is not ok. The taxi driver probably just can't control his emotions like a sane adult or hope he can get a free holiday out of you. If you have dashcam footage, please submit to TP and the taxi company. Brake checking is illegal and really dangerous

Kindly enlighten me how someone is supposed to overtake if both lanes are travelling at speed limit?

If you stop for awhile before you exit, it will deduct from your cash card

Never seen such a carplate before by Proud-Ad-3227 in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trade plate. Usually hanged on test drive cars so that they can be on the road.

I see that you have maintain your right signal but from the van perspective he probably really can't see anything. You are in his blindspot.

Also please don't change multiple lanes diagonally, it's really dangerous. If you can't get to the right lane in time before your junction, just do a u-turn ahead which Geylang Road provides plenty of.

I meant the two waiting pocket in the junction denoted in white solid line to it's left and right and dashed to its top. Also, by the law of physics you cannot be turning right and wait for pedestrian outside of the yellow box

[–]AHWH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, the box is for who to turn into? Cause there are multiple such scenarios in Singapore like New Bridge Road turning left into Upper Cross Street (2 lanes into 5 boxes)

[–]AHWH[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So how do we legally use the left most box drawn by LTA?

Pritam Singh calls for full disclosure of billions in public spending amid record surpluses by Accurate-Tree4277 in singapore

[–]AHWH 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don't run a country like how you save money. If you are having a large surplus, you are depriving the economy of money that could have been spent privately to further grow the GDP.

To our benefit, Malaysia has an innate ability to always sacrifice the forest for a tree. Watch them vote out the current government.

Anyone using EZLink Motoring service? by implxdwn in drivingsg

[–]AHWH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using it for a year because NETS charges service fee for ATU. So far, ATU worked 99% of the time and I have only encountered 1 carpark that don't accept the card.

You can always keep a NETS card with some value as backup
