A Bumpy Ride Up the Parallels of Safety on the Pan Island Expressway

Why Everyone’s Talking About the Jalan Anak Bukit Flyover

Picture this: You’re cruising up the high‑rise of the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and the next turn is a corkscrew that feels like a roller‑coaster scale for a car.It’s not just a rumor—Redditers in the neighbourhoods overlook the same flyover have been throwing up match‑reactions: the next bend is accident‑hotspot gold.

The Numbers Behind the Headlines

# Incident Count Video Reference

5 1 additional cameo `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdq8RWCglvc`

Quick takeaway: 8 videos, 8 calculated chances of a deal‑breaker tripping—showing that people lose control every time the curb is foamy or dry, ‘cause the road’s got a snell‑tide habit.

Why Drivers Lose Their Grip

  • Wet Weather? Cars slide to the left by a couple of metres and lose full control.
  • Dry Conditions? Same spot—feels like slipping up a faucet.
  • Contributing Factor? Geometry and rush hour traffic have amplified the slip hazard.
  • Intuition is solid – All those who live directly below still call the spot “Finally, there are people on the street!”.

    Social Media Spreads the Word

    “My car slipped on +2 🛈”*- “He had no space to fix it – 👇”*- “Went around it to avoid falling backwards – that was dodgy!”Society has made the message concrete; you’ll see hashtags like “#PIEvert” or “#Jalan180” trending everywhere.

    Bottom Line

    Every mangling incident on that tiny part of the flyover screams “lookout.”
    Everyone drives on the PIE, but until the DOT pulls a solid fix (like installing a fair curve or better roofing), keep your brakes, eyes, and wits ready.

  • Stay safe, Singapore!*
