  I would like to know all the areas that DDs cannot ply due to height restrictions, besides CGA, Lor Chuan, Dunearn Rd and Henderson Rd.

  Dunearn Road is from Whitley Rd to Kg Java Rd- Low branches

  Henderson Road is from Telok Blangah Way to Telok Blangah Rd- Again low branches

  Got any more?

  1. PK Estate, Ferrar Park (the route where 131 plies - low branches)

  2. The most absurd is Henderson road. There is a small patch where there are low hanging branches because of which no DD can ply on the entire stretch.

  3. Depot Road - again low branches. Phew!!

  i don't think low tree branches are considered as official height restrictions

  low dangling or protruding tree branches are supposed to be trimmed periodically by the authorities!! otherwise it may pose a hazard to vehicles and even to pedestrians crossing the road...who knows when they will detach and drop off during heavy showers or windy days

  height restricted zones will be indicated by a signboard that legally prohibits a certain height...like those multi storey carparks or changi airport basement

  it's a myth to deduce that depot road restricts DDs due to tree branches, it's only hearsay and rumours, it's not official

  there are only two ways by which you can enter depot road, either via (southbound) Henderson Road or Alexandra Road

  i don't see any height restriction signs just before entry to depot road to prohibit any kind of vehicles

  in fact i've seen off-service DDs on depot road before..very rare..but it happened

  Not sure... But Sixth Ave I think it's due to the fact that it's hilly, so no DDs or bendies can ply there, same case as siglap rd.

  former svc 5 i dunno... i was only born in 1999.
