Vehicular Speeds Increase When ERP Rates Increase

11 September 2014

Senior Minister of State for Transport Josephine Teo told Parliament yesterday that electronic road pricing ("ERP") rates have shown an uptrend at eight gantries.

The result: for every dollar increase in ERP rates, motor vehicle speeds rose an average of 7 per cent.

Isn't it obvious?

Land Transport Authority's practice is to increase, and keep increasing, ERP rates at any gantry until average motor vehicle speeds along the targeted road during peak periods increase to LTA's satisfaction.
