SINGAPORE: Travellers using the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas should factor in additional time for immigration clearance and avoid peak hours, as travel is expected to pick up during the year-end school holiday period.
In an advisory on Tuesday , the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said traffic flow through the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints has returned to about 80 per cent of pre-COVID levels. “In fact, during peak periods, the volume has reached pre-COVID-19 levels,” it said, adding that nearly 1 million travellers passed through the two checkpoints over the Nov 4 to 6 weekend.“At the peak of the year-end school holiday period in 2019, the waiting time for travellers departing or arriving by car via the land checkpoints was about three hours,” it said.
“The public may thus wish to plan their travel judiciously, to avoid being caught in traffic congestion.”
Then everyone will go off peak and jammed the place. What kind of statement! Is better to go peak now because goons will go off peak.
