Road works many many

[moonlighter_sg]

Why can't they lay pipe n cables u under pedestrian walkways?

risky leh... what if someone accidentally stepped into a pothole, or naked wire protruding out the surface.

Driving in Singapore these days feels like a new obstacle course every day. As long as no sinkholes appear, the digging continues.

N

Not all road works by SP r for power..I have seen quite a fair bit the signage stated as Gas works..

All over la....all our stuff all hidden under ground one ma, so bobian, need to dig up every morning and cover back at night if no budget for OT pay.

I rather they place steel plates that cover the road, so they can remove it to do road works.

 

[Moowoow]

Lta building more roads each year chopping off green trees, what do u expect, drive some more

 

[Smarty22]

My main grouse is inadequate warning of roadwork ahead or tree pruning resulting in partial closure of
a lane. And motorists frequently have to take evasive action when approaching the worksite or blocked lane.
The new IU should be programmed to send out messages that say roadwork 1km ahead to warn motorists to drive carefully

it is reported the construction sector contributes a lot to the GDP.

If not how construction towkay every year get to buy new Merc/BMW?

Contractors huat ah

So blessed to be in the network and getting away with it, as many people really believe in the need for such high frequency cable/road maintenance. Also, nowadays, road works have increased Cisco traffic controllers manpower. One project benefits many parties.

so projects are long lor

 

[orpisia]

I hate the horizontal bumps that stretch across the lanes

No way to escape it since it is horizontal

No space. There 101 things below ground.

Now its like anytime, anyday n everywhere. Just place the far_king orange cone as they deemed fit.
I remembered last time most r in the night time..now its so frequent that most part of the roads that they dont even bother to levelled it after they patched it up.
If it is to save manpower cost by doing it daytime, shouldn't we be getting road tax discount?

After all we r paying the same if not more amount of road tax as compared to last time.
No bashing of ice, hybrid n ev pls..this applies to all.

the downsides of not having ugly overhead power and communication cables

do at night have to pay ot you know?

you willing to pay 34% income tax or double road tax to fund the ot roadworks?

last time they haven't uprooted almost all of the forests and jungles to build HDB but now they have so it makes no economic sense to do everything at night

Yes. I now wonder how many sinkholes it would take to slow down digging nationwide.

 

[Shion]

dunno why there is a need for so many road works...

"Circular economy"
