The Causeway is among the busiest in the world, with traffic jams known to last for hours despite taking only minutes to cross by car.SINGAPORE - The authorities have been studying ways to improve traveller experience at the land checkpoints, and the feasibility of Malaysia’s idea for a single clearance system will be assessed when Singapore receives the proposal.

The ICA spokesman said the authority has yet to receive any proposal for a “single clearance system” at the Causeway. ICA also commissioned 10 two-way automated lanes to replace manual counters at the Woodlands Checkpoint bus hall to allow clearance lanes to be converted flexibly for different modes of immigration clearance, based on the traffic situation.

She added that Woodlands Checkpoint will also be redeveloped over the next few years, and will have more automated clearance lanes for buses, cars, motorcycles and lorries.
