Traffic Policy

Park-and-Ride-Scheme

This was a serious oversight because millions of dollars in the Park-and-Ride-Scheme.

They did not think it was worthwhile to leave their cars parked outside the city all day.

However, it was not successful. Motorist simply switched to the regular bus service of they drove into the CBD before the ALS time of 7.30am.

This meant fewer vehicles would enter the CBD.

From these car parks, they could use public transport to enter the city area.

Under this scheme, motorist could park their vehicles at specfic car parks which were outside the city area.

The Park-and-Ride-Scheme was also introduced to control the traffic flow in the CBD.

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP)

In this way, peak hour traffic has been successfully controlled.

Motorist have to pay to use certain roadsm expressways and driving into the city at certain times of the day.

Technology is used to monitor and regulate traffic flow.

So, the ERP uses up-to-date technology to enable the transport system to stay relevant with times.

The ERP has replaced the ALS in 1998 as although the ALS was effective in controlling traffic flow, it was not cost-effective.

Vehicle Quota System (VQS)

The COE only entitles the motorist to own a car for 10 years.

Car buyers must bid for the COE before they can purchase a car.

Using the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, a specific number of new cars are put on the roads based on the quota setby the Land Transport Authotrity (LTA).

It was a way to control the number of new vehicles and it also means that cars over 10 years old ware taken of the road.

The VQS was introduced when there was a sharp increase in car ownership as people became more affluent in 1990s.

Area Licensing Scheme (ALS)

However, it was very successful in decreasing the number of vehicles enter the CBD during peak hours.

A lot of cost were involved as this system was labours intensive.

Motorist had to buyALS labels to enter the restricted zone and gantries were set up to monitor this.

Motorist have to pay for use of certain roads, especially the Central Business District.

The ALS was introduced in 1975 and was successful in controlling the flow of traffic in Singapore.
