About SG Traffic Now

SG Traffic Now is a free, independent platform for live and forecasted traffic at Singapore's two land border crossings with Malaysia — Woodlands Causeway and Tuas Second Link. The site has been live since December 2025.

It is built and maintained by Garreth, a Singapore-based commuter who crosses the causeway weekly — for weekday lunches, weekend trips, and the occasional Johor errand. Across the rest of the site we use "we" and "our" as the editorial voice for the work.

Why We Built It

The site started after a single 2–3 hour causeway jam. Live traffic cameras existed at the time, but no public tool forecasted causeway conditions, so commuters could not reliably plan around peak windows.

Google Maps was the closest alternative. Its causeway estimates consistently underestimated observed wait times, and it did not differentiate by vehicle type — motorcycles, cars, and heavy vehicles move at very different rates through the checkpoints but Maps treats the road as a single class.

We built SG Traffic Now to close that gap. We pair live data with forecasts derived from observed historical patterns, and we publish our data sources so commuters can judge the data themselves.

What We Do

We aggregate live traffic information so commuters can decide when, where, and how to cross. The site shows:

• Live camera feeds at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints
• Real-time traffic speed and congestion status
• Estimated crossing times based on current conditions
• Forecast windows for the days ahead, built from historical patterns
• Alerts sourced from official Singapore and Malaysia channels
• SGD/MYR exchange rate and Malaysia petrol prices for trip planning
• Upcoming Singapore and Malaysia public holidays

Who We Serve

Today, the site is built for Singapore- and Malaysia-registered car drivers using Woodlands Causeway or Tuas Second Link. Motorcycle and heavy-vehicle coverage is on the roadmap.

Mission and Vision

Our mission is to give causeway commuters a clear, transparent view of border traffic — live conditions, realistic forecasts, and the regulatory context needed to cross with confidence.

Our vision is to extend the platform with machine learning and computer vision, so the site can publish live and forecast wait times split by vehicle type — motorcycles, cars, and heavy vehicles — more quickly and accurately than is currently possible from official feeds alone. The current methodology is documented in full on the How It Works page.

Data Sources

Singapore traffic camera images and speed-band data are sourced from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) DataMall. Malaysia camera images are sourced from Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM), PLUS Expressways (PLUS), Kuala Lumpur Command & Control Centre (KLCCC), Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB), and Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (JIM).

Exchange rates are sourced from open.er-api.com. Malaysia petrol prices are sourced from data.gov.my. Public holiday data is sourced from official government publications. A full breakdown of sources, refresh cadence, and how each feed is used is published on the How It Works page.
