Update on Installations of Red-Amber-Green Arrows at Traffic Junctions by Year End, and Potential Elimination of Discretionary Right Turns

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Ms Joan Pereira asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether 

a.     the Ministry can provide an update on the installation of Red-Amber-Green (RAG) arrows at traffic junctions;

b.     the Ministry is on track to install the planned 200 additional RAG arrows by the end of this year; and

c.     it would be viable to eliminate all discretionary right turns on our roads by the end of this decade..

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow: 

1.     The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is close to completing the planned 200 additional Red-Amber-Green (RAG) arrows at signalised junctions. By end-2025, there would be around 1,400 RAG arrows, covering almost all signalised traffic junctions island-wide.

2.     The remaining signalised junctions where RAG arrows will not be installed mostly have a single right-turn lane with only one lane of oncoming traffic. LTA will review the need and feasibility for RAG arrows at these signalised junctions when there are road developments and upgrading.
