ERP rates to be adjusted at selected CTE gantries from 31 August 2020
to manage congestion during peak periods
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its third review of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates following the Circuit Breaker. Based on LTA’s monitoring of traffic conditions from early to mid August 2020, traffic speeds have remained optimal on all arterial roads and most expressways, except for some time periods on the Central Expressway (CTE).
2 As more people travel to and from their workplaces, traffic volume has continued to build up during weekday peak hours. This has led to localised congestion at specific locations along the CTE during the morning and evening peak periods.
3 To manage congestion on the CTE during peak periods, ERP rates will be increased by $1.00 with effect from 31 August 2020 at specific gantries on the CTE during the following time periods:
Time Period |
Current ERP Rates* |
Change in Rates* |

* ERP rate per Passenger Car Unit (PCU)
** The ERP rate for the gantry along Southbound CTE before Braddell Road will remain unchanged at $1 from 8am to 9am.
4 LTA will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely. As earlier announced, ERP rate reviews will be conducted once every five weeks. The outcome of the next ERP rate review will be announced in the last week of September 2020, and the appropriate ERP rates will take effect from 5 October 2020.
