Traffic Police Ops: Drivers & Bikers beware!

[Guest honour]

Hi fellow bikers,

 

Got news on TP acting on bus lane ops. Details at http://justicebaogong.blogspot.com/2008/10/warning-to-all-drivers-inform-your.html

Don't get booked!

[madman]

TP? since when they so free... Saw cisco guy at bus lane though, if you go in, that's it!

[MC28]

They are out-source wardens and doesnt not fall under the supervision of TPs..

 

I realise 1 thing, see white clothes ppl catching vehicles for various traffic offence is definitely labelled as a TP..

 

LTA has contracted six traffic wardens from a private company at $34,000 a year to take down the licence platenumber

[contrarian]

LTA is in charge of bus lane enforcement, not TP. The article clearly says LTA. And it merely describes something that has been in place for years already - we've all seen outsourced wardens doing bus lane enforcement for some years now.

[KeL_87]

Bus Lane initially is being enforced by TP. but after a while they give it to LTA to enforce..

[Kenix]

Can't go in bus lane now but sometimes really no choice when turning in from side & 2nd lane is pack with cars... Difficult to squeeze in leh, most is can lane split on the bus lane's orange marking.. :X

[popmynutsy]

while on my way to school, i travel by hougang ave 3. then i went into buslane. but i made sure that there was no bus behind me before i went in. i saw some1 in white taking a picture but dont know is take me or some1 else, just asking, if suay suay, kena, can appeal say i turning left into hougang or wad?

[louisyhw]

beware hougang ave 3 just before the esso station. there in the morning SURE got one. and also the 5-8pm bus lane the opposite direction might have at times.

[RustyStar]

Bus lanes are currently enforced by United Premas. They are very trigger happy coz the more offenders they catch, the more pay they get.

[Anonymous83]

Woh... Now also got warden standby at bus stop to check people drive & ride in bus lane ar... Haiz...Sianz...

[Reese]

[rizaldinho]

[Reese]

i ever travelled on the line & looking at the warden while he looked back at me

no letter after 1 mth

maybe i was lucky?

[racingter]

regardless of whether it's TP or cisco or LTA..as long as caught by them ridning or driving in the bus lane during their operation's hours = Pocket Hole.

[zart]

i see now more bus lane marking.. along bt panjang..bt timah just paint yesterday sia..

[super_marvel]

Bus lanes are so stupid...

 

We have to sacrifice 1/3 of the road's width for buses that most of the times is ferrying a couple of beings only.

 

And worse still, despite there being a bus lane, some basket buses chose to ditch the bus lane and want to fight for a piece of the road with other road users. Example? Check out lentor avenue. Give them bus lane on the left most lane, but buses still want to fight with other cars for the middle lane

Whole stretch of lentor from yishun to amk part, to and fro, also kena painted bus lane. Everyday also quite jam and slow ever since...

True true. I live Yishun work Ang Mo Kio.

Road very jam after they started the bus lane.

And the buses also come into the middle lane alot.

yea... those are the latest... AMK-Lentor was earlier this month... more to come under the Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP)... *sigh* now 144km with Bkt Panjang & Upp. Bkt Timah...

 

3.2.1 Bus lanes/full-day bus lanes

There are currently 120km of bus lanes and 7.6km of full-day bus

lanes (FDBL) in the city. Such right of way for buses has improved

bus speeds, especially with FDBL which has improved bus speeds

by as much as 16%. To enhance public transport journey experience,

LTA will increase the bus lanes to 150km and treble the FDBL

to 23km by June 2008. Our aim is to have an extensive network of

bus lanes/FDBL so that buses travel unimpeded, even under heavy

traffic conditions during peak hours.

 

3.2.2 Give way to buses exiting from bus bays

A campaign of giving way to buses exiting from bus bays was introduced

in 2005 to allow buses to exit from the bus bays with minimal

delays. A trial conducted by SBST found that 9% of journey time

was spent by buses trying to exit bus bays. To enhance the effectiveness

of the scheme, LTA will make it mandatory by end 2008 for

motorists to give way to buses through the traffic scheme as shown

in Figure 3.1.

 

maybe they put more bus lane... then traffic get more congested... then say, "see! congested!"... so they put up more gantries... good huh... haha...

bus lanes are crap. can see the bus lane "practically" empty for good for like maybe 3-4 mins only 1 bus pass by

[is_muddys]

you know wats stupid?if u travel from braddell rd heading towards lor chuan, there is 1 lane underneath the flyover, IT IS A BUS LANE.I ever saw a warden there.

[bernardk]

I think they should excuse bike into bus lane. Cos seriously bike is not causing any obstruction... Not like cars.... Already car is bulky, needless to say the kuku way they drive. But i mean bikes leh.... we dun even take up any space. And actually if we were to lane split with all the other cars is lagi dangerous lor. They should consider that. And moreover in taiwan there is a think call BIKE LANE lor.... why we dun have.... basket. They should call is "B" Lane. Meaning Bike and Bus lane. Cars go "F" one side muahahaha..

[eFzek17]

haha we all complain about bus lane.. Then people in bus complaint how?

[Killswitched]

Guys???? Why are we talking non-stop about bus lane? Its not that much worth discussing about. Why don't we just abided the timing for bus lane and thats it or we really have to use bus lane? Coz the subject and the issue discuss is way out of topic....its about TP/ROV operations.

[madman]

there is a "B" sign at bras basah rd traffic lite there, sometimes, i wish it is "B" for bike...
