No more traffic gridlock on Singapore's new expressway

Fears of traffic snarls on the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) as many returned to work after the year-end holiday did not materialise yesterday, reported The Straits Times.
Traffic was generally smooth during the morning and evening rush hours on the new highway at its exits and surrounding roads. The situation was unlike the gridlock last Monday - the first work day after the MCE opened - when motorists were caught in jams for two hours.
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said yesterday that he did not think design issues were to blame for the jams on 30th December 2013, and that the verdict on the MCE would be clearer in two to three weeks.
Mr. Lui also added that the LTA will continue to monitor traffic, make improvements to signs and implement necessary tweaks so motorists have a smoother commute.
