With the Good Friday holiday approaching, traffic flow through the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas is expected to be heavy.

Travellers intending to use the land checkpoints during the peak periods should take note of the following information

Traffic volume at the two land checkpoints is expected to build up from Thursday (17 April 2014) and will continue till Sunday (20 April 2014). Travellers using the land checkpoints during these periods can expect delays.

With security checks, traffic build-up is inevitable, especially when a large number of travellers use the checkpoints at the same time. To avoid a surge of travellers and vehicles seeking clearance at the land checkpoints, travellers are advised to adjust their travel plans if possible.

Drivers should car-pool and maintain lane discipline at all times.

Eligible users (Singaporeans, Singapore Permanent Residents and Long Term Pass holders) are encouraged to use the enhanced Immigration Automated Clearance System (eIACS) lanes at the bus halls for immigration clearance.

Travellers are to ensure that they are carrying their own passports before presenting for immigration clearance at the checkpoints; and

Travellers are to make sure that they do not bring unlawful or prohibited goods into or out of Singapore. The list of controlled and prohibited items can be found on ICA’s website www.ica.gov.sg.

Travellers leaving Singapore by Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint will be able to know in advance the traffic situation from LTA’s Expressway Monitoring & Advisory System (EMAS) installed along the AYE and BKE respectively.
