Tuas Checkpoint is Singapore's western land crossing into Malaysia, via the Malaysia–Singapore Second Link to Gelang Patah in Johor. It connects to the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on the Singapore side.

The cameras below are LTA's live traffic CCTV at the checkpoint and refresh continuously, showing the queue in both directions — Singapore to Johor, and Johor back into Singapore.

Tuas carries considerably less traffic than the Causeway, which often makes it the quicker crossing at peak times even though it is a longer drive from both city centres. It still builds up on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays.

Tuas Checkpoint — common questions

How busy is Tuas Checkpoint right now?+

The live cameras on this page show the current queue at the Second Link in both directions, updated continuously from LTA's traffic camera feed. The estimated travel times beside each direction indicate how the approach roads are moving.

Is the Second Link faster than the Causeway?+

Often, yes, during busy periods. Tuas handles much less traffic than Woodlands, so it clears faster when the Causeway is congested. The trade-off is distance: the Second Link is a longer drive from both Singapore and Johor Bahru city centre, so the time saved at the checkpoint can be offset by the journey to it.

What time is Tuas Checkpoint least busy?+

Late night and early morning are typically clearest, along with weekday periods outside the commuter peaks. Friday evenings, weekends, school holidays and public holidays are the busiest times.

Is Tuas Checkpoint open 24 hours?+

Yes, Tuas Checkpoint operates 24 hours a day, though clearance times vary with traffic volume.
