We are paying high cost (ERP and COE) and getting slow moving traffic. It is the worst of both worlds. Read this article.

Mr Tan, you pointed out 1) Inconsiderate drivers involved in accidents, 2) lack of Traffic Police, 3)Road works at Peak hours.

I agree. In fact if we to figure out why drivers are getting arguing, it is because there are no Traffic Police on hand ! Am sure with all the cameras, Somebody can see all the want. As for the Road Works, I have stopped calling LTA. LTA always push the responsibilty to the "contractors". Full stop. I do not believe the contractors are 100% ro be blamed. They were no supervision by the "Authority". Then again, which "authority" ? LTA or the Traffic Police/SPF ? The PMO need to step in to draw the lines. There are too many issues in Singapore nowadays where no one "owns" the issues.
I always joke that it should be the Ministry of Education/Finance... One can always draw the dotted lines. But seiously, I do expect the PM to be the one who would say " The buck stops here !" if his ministers can just look around for a sucker.
