2. Understand the Travel Time Chart for Checkpoints
- What It Shows: A 24-hour line chart predicting travel times for your route. The timings show the duration from start (e.g., road leading up to Woodlands checkpoint) to finish (e.g., JB road after CIQ). Applies to and fro, for both Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.
- How to Read It:
- The horizontal axis displays time slots (e.g., 1 PM to 2 PM) in 30-min intervals.
- The vertical axis shows travel time in minutes.
- The view will be tailored to your device, be it mobile, desktop, or otherwise.
- Lower points indicate faster trips; higher points signal delays.
- Updated every 15 minutes
- How to Use It: Identify dips in the chart to find the best time to travel. For example, if the chart shows 25 minutes at 3pm but 50 minutes at 4.30pm, leave earlier to avoid congestion.
- Why It’s Great: The displayed chart trends (i.e. highs and lows) help you plan around peak traffic conditions at the checkpoints.
3. Navigate with the Congestion Heatmap
- What It Is: A color-coded map showing traffic intensity across time slots. It displays a full spectrum of colours depending on the exact nature of traffic at that moment with the predicted timings shown when you hover or click on it.
- How to Read It:
- Greenish: Smooth, fast travel.
- Yellowish: Moderate traffic, expect minor delays.
- Reddish: Heavy congestion, avoid if possible.
- How to Use It: Choose green or blue time slots for the easiest drive. Updated every 15 minutes, the heatmap ensures you have the latest traffic updates.
- Why It’s Great: The visual nature of the heatmap helps you quickly spot potential delays before they slow you down, especially during busy periods like school holidays or other major events.
4. Compare Routes for the Fastest Path
- What It Does: Compares travel times between routes within or across Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.
- How to Use It:
- Scroll to the “Select Routes to Compare” section.
- Check the boxes for routes you’re considering.
- Review the comparison chart to identify the quickest checkpoint.
- Why It’s Great: A common use-case is to compare 2 checkpoints and understand which one is better for that day's journey, if you are considering either. Secondly, you can also use the route comparison to understand the best times to go to JB and come back through the same checkpoint. It helps you make informed decisions to select the fastest route, avoiding heavy traffic jams.

Trust Traffic Trends, Even If Predictions Aren’t Perfect
Sometimes, the authorities on both Singapore and Malaysian side might close a lane, do a spot check, or something else that delays the traffic flow unexpectedly. During these periods, it is possible that the predicted timings aren't 100% accurate - there may be a slight error margin. While unforeseen events like these, or accidents and roadworks can affect precise timings, the traffic trends these predictions reveal are what truly matter. Built on 14 years of historical data, these trends show consistent patterns for peak hours with granular detail about each 30-min interval or lighter traffic gaps you can take advantage of, giving you a dependable foundation for planning.
Why is this so important? By tapping into these traffic trends, you can plan travel in advance and dodge heavy jams that even seasoned travellers can get stuck in. For instance, if the trend shows congestion spiking this evening, leaving an hour earlier could cut your wait time in half. This proactive approach saves you from the stress of gridlock and keeps your schedule on track. So, even if the exact minute-by-minute forecast shifts, the bigger picture - the reliable trends - ensures you’re making smart, time-saving decisions.
