The Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) is the highway where the most traffic accidents occurred over the past three months.

Singapore’s longest highway, at 42.8km, had at least 441 accidents, with the highest concentration around the Eng Neo Avenue exit. There were 48 accidents there, evenly split in both directions.

The numbers were gleaned from more than 2,000 tweets by the Land Transport Authority’s @LTAsg Twitter account between May 26 and Aug 22.

The automated traffic updates are based on real-time surveillance cameras and the Expressway Monitoring Advisory System.

Although the PIE had the highest number of accidents, it fell behind the Central Expressway (CTE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE) when the number of accidents was set against the length of the road.

The 15.5km CTE had at least 164 accidents, or 10.58 per km, and the 12km SLE had 125 accidents, or 10.42 per km, compared with the PIE’s 10.3 per km.

Aside from Eng Neo, other hot spots include a stretch of the PIE near Paya Lebar, the CTE near the PIE (Changi) exit and the SLE near Mandai Road. Each recorded at least 25 accidents.
