Clarification on Traffic Studies
Location of vehicular access point

 Direct access from expressways, slip roads, acceleration or

deceleration lanes, bus or taxi bays and major arterials roads are
not allowed.
 For commercial and shophouse developments, where a rear
service road is available or safeguarded, access shall be taken
from the rear service road.
 Where a development is accessible from two public streets, it
shall be designed to take access from the road which is classified
as a lower category in the Road Line Plan (RLP).
 Access points shall be suitably located to ensure smooth flow of
traffic on roads. Access points are to be located at a safe
distance from road junctions, road bends, pedestrian crossing,
bus-stops, existing opposite access points etc
 Services access to electric sub-station and bin centre shall all be
taken from within the site. Separate access directly from the
public street is not allowed.

Pick-up/Drop-off Points

Advantages:
1)Increase holding area for cars / buses

2)Queue brought into school compound

3)Pedestrian crossing in front of school will not be

affected by vehicular traffic

 Task for Student
2. Please conduct the following steps to forecast the traffic demand
generated by the proposed town

Step 1: Trip generation

Please use two methods ( Trip rate method and cross classification
method ) to forecast the trip production .
Please use trip rate method to forecast the trip attraction.
Please provide the trip generation for the proposed town.

Step 2: Trip distribution

It is assuming that 30% of the trips attracted by the various land use
are from the town. Please forecast the trip distribution to other
regions/towns in Singapore based on the population distribution among
various regions/towns.
 Task for Student
2. Please conduct the following steps to forecast the traffic demand
generated by the proposed town
