Heavy traffic expected at Singapore-Malaysia land checkpoints during September school holidays
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) issued the travel advisory for Sep 4 to 14, encouraging travellers to plan their journey ahead of time and consider travelling during non-peak hours.
Travellers crossing the Singapore-Malaysia border can expect heavy traffic and longer waiting times at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints from September 4 to 14. According to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), this is due to the upcoming September school holidays.
The ICA has advised motorists to plan their journeys early and travel during non-peak hours, such as early mornings and late evenings. Travellers can check the traffic situation at the land checkpoints via the Land Transport Authority's OneMotoring website, which shows live traffic camera views for both Woodlands and Tuas.
The ICA also recommends using QR codes generated via the MyICA mobile app for faster immigration clearance. This advisory comes after a recent National Day weekend saw over 2.1 million travellers crossing both checkpoints, with some experiencing waits of up to three hours due to traffic tailbacks from Malaysia.
