ERP rates to be adjusted along congested stretches of CTE from 12 October 2020
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its latest review of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates following the end of the Circuit Breaker. Based on LTA’s monitoring of traffic conditions in September 2020, traffic speeds have remained optimal on all arterial roads and most expressways, except for some time periods on the Central Expressway (CTE).
2 As more people travel to and from their workplaces, traffic volume has continued to build up during weekday peak hours. This has led to localised congestion at specific locations along the CTE during peak periods.
3 To manage congestion on the CTE during peak periods, ERP rates will be adjusted by $1.00 with effect from 12 October 2020 at specific gantries on the CTE during the following time periods:
Time Period |
Current ERP Rates* |
Change in Rates* |
ERP Rates* w.e.f. |
| Southbound CTE after Braddell Road & PIE Slip Road into Southbound CTE – Set of 4 gantries | |||
8:30 - 9:00 |
$0.00 |
Increase by $1.00 |
$1.00 |
9:00 - 9:30 |
$0.00 |
Increase by $1.00 |
$1.00 |
Northbound CTE after PIE – Set of 2 gantries |
|||
18:00 – 18:30 |
$2.00 |
Increase by $1.00 |
$3.00 |
* ERP rate per Passenger Car Unit (PCU)
** No change to previously announced ERP rates for other gantries
4 There will continue to be no ERP charges on other expressways and arterial roads.
5 LTA will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely and assess if ERP rates need to be further adjusted.
