SINGAPORE: Travellers heading to Malaysia via the land checkpoints can expect waits of at least two hours.<\/p>\n
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in Facebook posts on Thursday (April 30) at around 7.15pm that there is very heavy departure traffic at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.<\/p>\n
Queueing time for motorists at Woodlands Checkpoint is expected to be two hours or more, while the wait at Tuas Checkpoint is at least three hours, said ICA.<\/p>\n
At Woodlands Checkpoint, the queue has reached BKE (Woodlands) Exit 10A.<\/p>\n
The heavy traffic at Tuas Checkpoint is due to tailback from Malaysia, with the queue reaching the middle of the Second Link Bridge, said ICA.<\/p>\n
A 7.40pm announcement on the MyTransport.SG app said bus services 187, 960e, 963, 963e and 966 were diverted due to heavy traffic on BKE (Woodlands) at the Woodlands Road exit.<\/p>\n
ICA had said on April 27 that heavy traffic is expected at Singapore\u2019s land checkpoints during the upcoming Labour Day long weekend, from April 30 to May 3.<\/p>\n
Travellers are encouraged to plan their journey ahead of time and consider travelling during non-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening.<\/p>\n
ICA advised travellers to use QR codes for faster immigration clearance.<\/p>\n
The authority also urged motorists to follow traffic rules and maintain lane discipline. It added that those caught queue-cutting will be made to go to the back of the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cICA will take firm action against travellers who do not comply with our officers\u2019 instructions or commit traffic offences,\u201d it said earlier. – The Straits Times\/ANN<\/p>\n
