ERP rates to rise by $1 at four expressway locations from 23 March 2026

A review of January 2026 traffic conditions found congestion building up at several expressway stretches, prompting adjustments to manage traffic conditions.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has completed its latest review of Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates, announcing adjustments at several expressway locations across Singapore.

Based on its monitoring of traffic conditions in January 2026, the authority observed that traffic has built up at various stretches of expressways. To manage congestion at these locations, ERP rates will increase by S$1 at four locations during six specified time periods, with the revised rates taking effect from 23 March 2026.

ERP rate changes from 23 March 2026

According to LTA, some locations may comprise multiple gantries, but motorists will only be charged at one gantry when passing through the area.

Other ERP rates remain unchanged

ERP rates for all other previously announced timeslots and gantries will remain unchanged.

Motorists are encouraged to plan their journeys and consider alternative routes to avoid peak periods where possible.

Traffic conditions continue to be monitored

LTA said it will continue to monitor traffic speeds closely and review whether ERP rates need further adjustment.

In particular, the authority is closely watching traffic conditions in the Orchard area, where speeds have persistently remained below optimal levels. The area previously had ERP charges but has been unpriced since the circuit breaker period in April 2020.

The optimal speed range for expressways is 45km/h to 65km/h, while arterial roads typically operate best between 20km/h and 30km/h.
