On November 8, residents traveling from Singapore to Malaysia faced a significant delay at the Woodlands Checkpoint, with wait times reaching up to 1.5 hours. The Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA) issued a Facebook post, warning of heavy departure traffic at the checkpoint due to a tailback from Malaysia. The ICA advised travelers to check traffic conditions before setting off on their journey and urged them to follow the ICA's Facebook page for updates.
According to AsiaOne's checks on the Checkpoint.sg app at around 9:15 am, the waiting time ranged between 85 and 130 minutes from Woodlands Checkpoint to Johor. Conversely, those traveling to Johor via Tuas Checkpoint experienced a shorter estimated wait time of 50 to 80 minutes. The ICA had previously issued an advisory on November 1, anticipating heavy traffic at the land checkpoints during the Deepavali long weekend.
