The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has reported generally smooth traffic on the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) during peak hours.
There was no chaos reported on the new Marina Coastal Expressway at the start of the work week after the year-end holiday.
Traffic was smooth on the MCE, despite being the first day of school and work for many, after the conclusion of the year-end holidays.
Morning traffic on the MCE appeared light and smooth, in both directions, as of 8:00am on the first work day of 2014.
Transport Minister, Lui Tuck Yew, announces further improvements and more assessment by LTA to monitor the traffic situation of the MCE.
Commuting on the MCE was reportedly smoother on New Year's Eve, a contrast to the clogged roads that plagued the new highway on Monday.
Alarmed by the heavy congestion around the MCE yesterday, motorists have decided to tweak travel plans in the forthcoming days to avoid jams in the area.
Traffic on the sprawling new MCE was heavy, with thousands of motorists and commuters finding themselves stuck in traffic for as long as two hours.
Motorists may require some time to be familiar with the traffic changes on the newly opened Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE).
The current speed limit in the KPE will be raised to 80km/h from the end of the year to keep it in line with the upcoming MCE.
