Increased Population Growth
Increased Traffic Flow
More land
needed More infrastructure needed
More traffic issues

Target:-Road usage
-Car ownership
How do these measures help to control traffic?
Area Licensing Scheme
Electronic Road Pricing
Park-and-Ride Scheme
Vehicle Quota System

Area Licensing Scheme
• Main aim: To manage the heavy traffic flow in the Central Business District (CBD)
Area Licensing Scheme
• Under this scheme, motorists had to pay for the use of certain roads in Singapore, known as Restricted Zones
• Gantries were set up at the boundaries of these areas to monitor cars entering
Restricted Zones
Area Licensing Scheme
BeforeThe implementation of ALS in June 1975
32,500 vehicles
AfterThe implementation of ALS in June 1975
7,700 vehicles
Volume of traffic flow going into the CBD during 7.30 am to 9.30am
Successful in ensuring smooth traffic flow in the CBD
Area Licensing Scheme
• However it was discontinued:–Too inconvenient as it required someone to sit at the gantry to monitor the cars
Electronic Road Pricing

Electronic Road Pricing
• Using more up-to-date technology• Motorists pay a certain amount
when entering the Central Business District area during peak hours – on expressways, roads leading to
CBD
• A certain amount of money will be deducted from cash-cards when they pass the ERP gantries
Electronic Road Pricing
• Replaced the Area Licensing Scheme (ALS)–Uses more up-to-date technology–More convenient and efficient than ALS
Traffic flow along the two leftmost lanes of the PIE leading to the CTE (city) at 8.33am yesterday after ERP rates went
up from $4.50 to $5.00 (Published in The Straits Times)
Park-and-Ride Scheme
• Park at specific car parks outside the CBD area, and use public transport to enter the city area
Park-and-Ride Scheme
• Out of 7,700 additional parking lots created, only 585 were takenNot worthwhile to
leave cars parked outside all day.
I’ll try to sneak into the CBD area before 7.30am then…
Vehicle Quota System
Vehicle Quota System
Vehicle Quota System
• The Land Transport Authority (LTA) determined the no. of new motor vehicles allowed for registration
Vehicle Quota System
• Implementation of the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system• Drivers had to
own a license to purchase cars
• Only successful bidders will pay for the COE
• COE to be renewed after 10 years
