Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 5: Liang Eng Hwa on traffic management
Traffic congestion in Singapore has visibly worsened. It is no longer confined to peak hours or the Central Business District. Heavy traffic is now common even on weekends, along arterial roads and across the expressway network. MP Liang Eng Hwa highlighted these observations in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4). He noted that while road-pricing has been effective in managing demand, he urged the government to look to non-pricing approaches as well to manage congestion. He also wanted to know if the Ministry of Transport has plans to develop more double-tiered road systems in congestion-prone areas.
