Cars travelling though an electronic road pricing (ERP) gantry near the State Courts on 13 July 2016.
From next Monday (Feb 20), two Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries along the east-bound Pan Island Expressway (PIE) will be activated during the evening peak hours.
The two gantries are located after Adam Road and at the Mount Pleasant slip road into PIE (Changi).
The rate for both gantries will be $2 between 5.30pm and 7pm, and $1 from 7pm to 7.30pm.
This comes after the Land Transport Authority (LTA) completed its quarterly review of traffic conditions on roads and expressways.
Explaining its decision, the LTA said traffic conditions along the affected stretch have deteriorated in recent years.
Traffic speeds had also gone below 40km/h, well below the optimal range of 45km/h to 60km/h.
Meanwhile, ERP rates at two gantries along the north-bound Central Expressway (CTE) will increase during evening peak hours from Feb 20.
The gantries – located after the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) exit – will have their rates increased by $1 from between 6pm to 8pm.
The revised rates will kick in from next Monday (Feb 20).
The second quarterly ERP rate review for 2017 will take place in May.
