How to check expressway travel times and traffic cameras before you drive
Short answer: open Traffic, check the travel time gauges for your expressway, then open a traffic camera to see the road with your own eyes. Green is smooth, amber is slower and red is heavy.
What you will see
- An Expressway and Roads switch at the top, so you can look at highways or at other roads.
- Travel time gauges for each major expressway. They share one scale, so you can compare them at a glance.
- Road segments coloured green, amber or red by how long they take.
- Incidents such as accidents and road works.
- Live traffic camera photos you can open full size.
How to use it
- Open Traffic and choose Expressway for highways or Roads for other roads.
- Find your expressway and read the gauge. Red or amber tells you to leave earlier or choose another way.
- Check the segments to see where the slowdown is, not just that there is one.
- Open a camera near the trouble spot. Pinch to zoom, and drag to move around the picture.
- On the Roads side, pick a road type chip, or search for a road by name.
- Still unsure? Plan the trip in Trip Planner to compare drive with MRT and bus.
Tips
- Camera images are snapshots, not video. Look at the time on the picture before you rely on it.
- On big event days, also open Public Alerts. Road blocks appear under Other.
- Cameras also appear on the map, so you can tap one near your route.
