Singaporeans are really a rule-abiding bunch.

The Woodlands Causeway and Second Link at Tuas are completely free of traffic on May 9, which is Malaysia's Polling Day -- at least on Singapore's side.

Based on what can be seen on live video screen shots on the onemotoring.com.sg site, traffic into Johor Bahru has been completely clear of traffic since May 8 the day before, with no signs of any traffic build-up:

No traffic

The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority in Singapore even gave the all-clear, saying that any social media allegations about traffic building up and travellers stranded are not true.

Here is a look at how clear the traffic is in the morning and afternoon on Wednesday, May 9 -- which is really quite rare:

10.15am

10.41am

11.13am

12.03pm

1.45pm

Appeal for traffic-free passage up north

An appeal for Singaporeans to avoid travelling to JB on May 8 and 9 was earlier making the rounds on social media:

This was to allow Malaysians easier access back home for the chance to vote on Polling Day on May 9.

There are currently about 400,000 Malaysians working in Singapore. Some reside here while many commute daily from Johor.

Malaysians living in neighbouring areas like Singapore, South Thailand, Brunei and Kalimantan, Indonesia are not eligible to vote by post and must return to Malaysia to cast their ballot.

A mid-week election is also likely to affect turnout in the country’s less-developed states like Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak.

Last-minute evening dash in

Polling Day in Malaysia has been declared a public holiday. But businesses, especially food and beverage outlets, would most likely still be open for business.

As of 4.15pm, the time of writing, the Woodlands Causeway and Second Link at Tuas are relatively traffic-free.

Singaporeans gunning for some dinner/ supper and petrol-refilling, can probably start making some last-minute plans.

Now.
