Bad Traffic conditions??

Bad Traffic Conditions??

Chances are that it's due to Road Hogs.

But these are no ordinary road hogs, but big road hogs.

These picts were taken on the same "stretch" of road but of different vehicles.

What to look out for??

Noticed that there are heavy vehicles on the right lanes? Well, they were not making a right turn, that's for sure as there were none there.

So why were they driving on the extreme right lanes then?
Your guess is as good as mine.

But one thing that I can comment about such actions, these Big road hogs are slow to pick up and they hog up all the lanes creating a bottle neck on the roads.
*Did anyone noticed that the reason why there are more ERPs are because of heavy traffic as well?

Should call 4 or 5 vehicles be allowed to "overtake"?
If my memory serves me correctly, they were only allowed to take the extreme left lanes on the expressways. But what happened? They can be found on even on all the lanes other than the extreme right lanes.
*But many a times, I have witnessed some vans traveling on the extreme right lanes as well. I believe you will have too if you use the expressway @ least once a day.

**Not too long ago, a lorry full of foreign workers met and accident and all 13 of them were thrown off the lorry and if I remember correctly, 1 or 2 of them died. I am wondering what was the speed of the lorry to have caused such an impact?

Another pict to share.

There were 2 lanes that could turn right. But why was the truck on the right turning lane which was meant to be for the faster vehicles?

Sometimes I do feel that the authorities could do more / do better on this area which would do lots to improve the traffic conditions.

What say you?

My suggestions:
1. To ban all class 4 and 5 vehicles from over taking and keep on the extreme left lane on all roads

2. To enforce and lower the speed limit of class 4 and 5 vehicles to be @ 50km/h

3. To limit the lanes class 3 heavy vehicles are allowed to travel on.
e.g. only the extreme left lane + 1 for over taking

4. All class 4 & 5 vehicles are also allowed to use bus lanes during all timings. (Debatable)
