SINGAPORE: Travellers have been advised to defer non-essential travel to Johor as continuous heavy traffic is expected at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints this weekend.
Since the start of the March school holidays, both checkpoints have been experiencing very heavy arrival and departure traffic, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Friday (Mar 21).
“The incessant rain over the last two days due to the monsoon surge in Singapore has also added to the traffic build-up at the land checkpoints.”
Departing car travellers and motorcyclists have had to wait over two hours for immigration clearance.
In addition to advising travellers to defer non-essential travel if possible, ICA also cautioned motorists of reduced visibility on rainy days and urged them to avoid queue-cutting as there have been cases of road accidents reported over the last two days.
“Those who wish to continue with their journey should expect delays and are advised to check the traffic conditions before embarking on their journey,” it added.

In a traffic update at about 9.30am on Friday, ICA noted heavy departure traffic at Woodlands Checkpoint due to tailback from Malaysia.
Singapore and parts of Johor have seen persistent rain from Wednesday due to a monsoon surge.
The monsoon surge is expected to last until Friday, bringing moderate to heavy rain across Singapore, said the Meteorological Service Singapore on Monday.
