Electronic Road Pricing
21-Sep-2007  |  Text and photos by Jegan Das Haridas  |  Category: Car Ownership Advice Viewed : 9,194 times
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system is used to control traffic flow on heavily used road and into the Central Business District (CBD). Vehicles are charged if they make use of these road or enter the CBD during peak hours.

The ERP rates will be reviewed by LTA every quarterly and during school holiday period, depending on the traffic conditions on the expressways and road where the ERP gantries are located.

Where Are The Gantries

The first gantry was introduced by Ministry of Communications on 1 April 1998 at East Coast Parkway (Ophir Road). Currently, the number of ERP Gantries has increased to eight.

Existing Location of Gantries:

Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE)
Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE)
Central Business District (CBD)
Central Expressway (CTE)
Dunearn Road
East Coast Parkway (ECP)
Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE)
Orchard Area
Other Area
Outer Ring Road Area
Pan-Island Expressway (PIE)
All ERP Gantries do not operate on Sunday and Public Holidays.
ERP Operation Hours

When you see either a clock display or the words “In Operation” on the gantry, you should know that the gantry is functioning. Please ensure that your cashcard is inserted into the IU. Charges for the ERP system ranges from $0.50 to $4.50, depending on which area the gantry is located and the time you are driving through the gantry.

Do you know that if you go pass 2 consecutive gantries without enough value in your cashcard, you will only be fined the admin fee once?

Below is a rough operation hours of the ERP gantries at the major areas in Singapore.
