The Busiest Land Crossing in the World

The Johor–Singapore Causeway carries on the order of 300,000 crossings a day, which makes it one of the busiest land border crossings anywhere. It has been in service since 1924 and was briefly blown up in 1942.

The clock: both sides keep UTC+8. Singapore adopted it in 1982 specifically so that this crossing would not involve a time change.
