HOUSEWIFE Valerie Goh gets an attack of nerves each time she has to drive to the Seletar Country Club off Yio Chu Kang.
The area is undergoing construction, with the Seletar Aerospace Park set to be fully completed by 2018, and she is frightened by the steady stream of heavy vehicles and the constant road changes.
'The roads keep changing and it is very confusing and dangerous. Traffic comes in all directions and it's hard to tell who has the right of way,' said Ms Goh, 35, a member of the club.
She and other members are particularly worried about a short stretch of road about 200m from the clubhouse. The road, which intersects Seletar Club Road, Seletar West Link and West Camp Road, has three junctions which do not have traffic signals.
'With the heavy traffic, and with large trucks, it is becoming quite hazardous.
'We are gravely concerned with the safety aspects and have advised our members to be extra careful when using the junction,' said Seletar Country Club general manager Eric Song.
The Sunday Times understands that there have been two accidents in the area, one of which was between a car and a lorry.
The club has put up signs on its premises showing a map of the road and urging drivers to be careful.
Another club member, retiree Stephanie Goh, 64, said: 'Many members live in the Seletar Hills area, so we have no choice but to take the road when coming from the Jalan Kayu direction. It's very dangerous and I have to be extra careful if I use it.'
The traffic problem, which started last year, seems to have worsened since June 1, when Seletar West Link was opened.
