Compared to the number of vehicles available in Singapore few decades ago, today the number has multiplied significantly. As a result, traffic has become a common problem in Singapore, not only to car drivers but also to pedestrians and public transportation users.
Traffic in Singapore has become inevitable since the intervention of technology. The world is battling against each other in order to create the perfect ‘machine’. And this is why demands of these machines never fail to cease, which leads us to a huge number of imported goods available in Singapore.
With many cars along the roads, it is good to know the time when congestion occurs or when the peak hours are. For example, Singapore’s daily traffic volume is recorded between 7:30am-7:00pm on weekdays only. Based on the results, the busiest period it between 8:00am to 9:00am and 6:00pm-7:00pm on weekdays as they are the usual times people go on and off of work. And there is no traffic between 1 to 5am. Clementi is the worst suburb for morning commuting with Bukit Timah, Bishan and Jurong West coming in second, third and fourth consecutively.
By highlighting areas affected by congestion, the purpose is to enable people to consider alternative routes and departure times.
