SINGAPORE – Motorists can expect the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates at four locations to increase by $1 on Jan 2, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Nov 17.

LTA said it had monitored traffic conditions in October, and traffic was found to have built up at various stretches on several expressways. The increase in rates is to manage congestion at these locations.
