East Coast Road (Chinese: 东海岸路; Malay: Jalan Pantai Timur) is a major two-way road in eastern Singapore. As its name suggests, the road used to run along Singapore's southeastern coastline before extensive land reclamation shifted the coastline southwards. The road starts in the west as Mountbatten Road, then continues eastwards - after the Haig Road and Amber Road junction - as East Coast Road. Moving further eastwards, the road continues as Upper East Coast Road (Chinese: 东海岸路上段) before making a turn northwards to continue as Bedok Road. Both Upper East Coast Road and East Coast Road are four lanes wide for their entire length, except in between Joo Chiat Road and Still Road, where street-side parking is allowed in the outer lane in both directions.
