SINGAPORE: The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Organising Committee will be conducting traffic rehearsals on 31 October 2009 and 1 November 2009.
This is in anticipation of the APEC Leaders' Week meetings that will be held in Singapore from 8-15 November 2009.
As part of the rehearsal proceedings, certain roads will be affected.
Most of the closures will either involve lane closures or temporary road closures for short periods of time. Some other roads and expressways may also be affected as part of the rehearsals.
The APEC organising committee says the duration of these road closures will, however, be kept to a minimum.
To minimise any potential inconvenience to motorists, the extreme right lane of affected roads will be set aside as a dedicated APEC Lane to facilitate the movement of APEC vehicles.
The APEC Lane will only be closed to the public prior to and during the movement of APEC vehicles.
Motorists are strongly encouraged to tune in to the radio for the latest updates on road and lane closures.
EMAS and advisory signs will be put up on the affected roads to inform motorists of the closures.
Auxiliary Police officers and Traffic Police officers will also be stationed at the affected roads and junctions to regulate traffic.
Parking restrictions at the peripheral roads will be strictly enforced.
