Btw, About the slip road from Keppel Road to AYE...
Asked my dayshift hirer who has driving full time for > 20 years,
He said never used that slip road to AYE before.
Another neighbour day shift driver, 17 years on the road also never use before.
Me too never use before.

So bros, have you used that slip road before ?
under what circumstances ? confused.gif

I tried it today because Telok Blangah Rd to Alexander was jammed. It's considerably further than I thought.no
Wouldn't use it again unless I know for sure the other way is congested.

Some expressway slip road are not used by motorists. This may be due to error during road planning. It will make no sense to use it as it will be longer. One example will be: Mandai ave toward direction of Zoo and slip road leading into SLE (CTE ) just before mandai road junction. Honestly how many bros here ever use it before ? No matter which direction you come from I doubt it will makes sense to use it.

Using slip road at Keppel Road>AYE and using Telok Blangah>Alexandra>AYE what's the difference?
The former distance seems further but much less traffic lights.
The latter distance seems shorter but many traffic lights.
Perhaps someone can try out both ways and see if the distance very much different?
