The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its first review of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates following the end of circuit breaker.
Although Singapore has reached Phase 2 recently, LTA has announced that there will be no ERP rates at all gantries islandwide, until July 27, 2020, at the earliest.
LTA had suspended ERP charging at all gantries since April 6, in line with the circuit breaker measures which resulted in reduced traffic.
Traffic conditions remain optimal in early June
According to LTA, the ERP review process resumed on June 2, 2020, in tandem with the gradual re-opening of Singapore's economy.
However, based on LTA's monitoring of traffic conditions, traffic speeds on expressways and arterial roads in early June 2020 have remained optimal, hence ERP rates continue to remain at zero, until the next ERP rate review.
LTA said that they will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely, and the outcome of the next ERP rate review will be announced in the fourth week of July 2020.
The appropriate ERP rates, if any, will take effect from July 27 2020.
