[stinkybutt]

get urself da latest street directory n learn how to read signboards. i'm sure tis basic stuff might be useful for u. might even better, go ride da whole of singapore w/o noeing where u're goin n u might learn along da way.

[CoStar]

learn the expressway routes. like example..AYE can bring u from jurong to bedok, ECP. but not yck or maybe sengkang..can bring but ridiculously far. learn the expressway routes..then move to smaller roads.

u can then try major roads..like clementi rd, serangoon rd..so on and forth.

[loyjwe]

like wat i did. check my road 1st everytime b4 going out. especially those nv been b4 or not sure 1. can use directory or web 1.

another way you can also follow the bus routes.

 

i'm sure after years of taking public buses, u sure can remember some routes that bring u from point A and B. though bus routes makes big detours and longer distances, but after sometime u'll be able to combine bus route A and bus route B to get to your destination faster.

 

following bus routes is just the beginner stage.

[MrIce]

erm i only take certain bus other i take mrt haha -_- jialat =/ yeah i brought street directory already diaos =_= go alone i scare later lost untill dunno how to go home lol

 

haha nvm i think i should try =/

[arsie]

If you can read english signs, should be no problem. It takes a while to have a mental picture of the relative positions of the expressway and various areas of Singapore, but after a while, you will have a good idea.

[MrIce]

oh thanks thanks =D just hope i dun lost my way haha

[Th3VIRUS]

trial n error lah....haha spore so small cannot lost uh

[BlackDawn]

The best way to remember your way, is to get lost.

[stanco]

and remember, singapore roads all are inter-link. even if you really got lost, you just keep on going, sure can hit some expressway or some major roads and bring you to somewhere where you are familiar with.

 

anyway, try using streetdirectory (if it is fully operational online again) or googlemap and roughly study the route first. then once on the road, look for those green signboard that tells you go straight, turn left, turn right will lead you to where.

 

if all else fails, use hp and call for help.

[MrIce]

haha i think i gonna bring street directory go out bah in case later really lost can find where am i lol call who help ? call police then tell them i am lost help help

[dragonforce]

always plan your route before you leave your house.. having a street directory always helps.. best if you have gps.. certain pple have very good road sense.. tell them roughly and they will know how to get there and wont forget how they got there.. for some, got to go many times before roughly having an idea how to go.. i am that example..

[Chubb]

street directory is yr best fren on e road..

i rode for 3yr+ stil cant rem e road.. muahaha.. plan my route b4 i go out.. hav a street directory in my box.. lost liao juz aga aga humtam..

i hav a really really bad sense for e roads.. haiz..

[MrIce]

[skai]

another way is you can flag down a cab. tell him u wanna go to this destination. then u ride your bike and follow the cab

[Izammo]

if lost just read sign sure got tell where to go the nearest expreway. then go home lar, tmr try again. haha.

[ah786786]

alternative u can see this link a map of sg and the expressways

 

http://www.map.gov.sg/StreetMap/

 

so its easier to plan out,as it shows which expressway connects to which one.

 

intially i used streetdirectory.com,but now its not in service...

 

after a while u will get used to the roads.

call your dad loh! on top of that, you might even feel fatherly love and warm. lol.

 

but the best is to always plans your route before going out.

[Th3VIRUS]

[ruriimasu]
