Runaway horse goes for a gallop on the BKE

🐎 "When traffic gets a little 'neigh'-sty, our LTA Traffic Marshals (LTM) are there to assist! 🚦🐴

Recently, LTM Sgt Uvarajah A/L Krishnasamy responded to this incident which occurred on the Bukit Timah Expressway (#BKE). LTM Uva calmly approached the ‘mane’ character – a horse! 🏇 Not only did he gain the horse's trust quickly, but he also managed to guide it away from the busy expressway to ensure our roads remain safe for everyone. 🌟🤠

Kudos to LTM Uva for handling this unusual situation expertly and being always ready to 'rein' in any unexpected encounters! #NoHorsingAround 🎉 https://go.gov.sg/nohorserun

Underage driver who bought car sharing account and ferried passengers for money given probation

#Reminder For your own safety, you are strongly encouraged to use ✨licensed✨ business platforms when booking car- and motorcycle-pooling services. 🚗🏍️

Licensed operators have:
✅ Established screening and safety processes to ensure the legitimacy of their drivers; as well as

✅ Insurance coverage 🤕 and trip records 📝 for investigative purposes when traffic accidents or driver-passenger disputes arise.

Car-pooling trips made through other platforms such as #WhatsApp or #Telegram chat groups, do not have such safeguards.

#Warning ⚠️ Those convicted of providing illegal vehicle-pooling services, or using an unlicensed vehicle, could face up to $3,000 in fines and/or up to 6 months imprisonment.

#PSA The 21.5km North-South Corridor (#NSC) will support new developments in the North and alleviate congestion along major roads such as the #CTE. It will also allow for surface streets in the region to be repurposed to provide more space for bus commuters, pedestrians and cyclists. 🚙🏍️ 🚲🚶🏻

🚧 As the NSC passes underneath existing roads such as Thomson Road, there will be some road changes to ensure that the construction works proceed safely.

From 23 July 🗓️, the existing PIE exit 17D (towards Thomson Road) will be rerouted via Mount Pleasant Road instead. Motorists and bus commuters are advised to:

🗺️⏰ Plan ahead for your journeys and cater additional travel time, especially during peak hours.

🛣️ Look out for directional signs to navigate through the area.

🚏🚌 Take bus services 132 & 156 at the new temporary bus stop after Mount Pleasant Road (instead of near the Old Police Academy).

#ThankYouForUnderstanding 🙏🏽
