ELECTRONIC Road Pricing rates for cars at 14 gantries will be up by 50 cents from this coming Monday.

The latest rate hike is part of the Land Transport Authority's quarterly review to achieve optimal traffic flow on expressways and roads, said a spokesman.

The expressways affected: Bukit Timah Expressway, the CTE gantry north of Braddell Road and the Pan-Island Expressway (Adam Road).

ERP rates are also up at nine gantries at Orchard, YMCA and Fort Canning Tunnel gantries.

Motorcyclists will pay 15 cents to 25 cents more.

Increases for heavy good vehicles and very heavy goods vehicles, small and big buses are between 75 cents and $1.

The rates for the other 48 gantries remain unchanged.
