Mr Christopher de Souza asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether an update can be provided on the plans to implement Red-Amber-Green arrows at about 200 more traffic junctions, subject to further site studies; and
b. whether such site studies can be stepped up to assess the possibility of reducing discretionary right turns to a minimum so as to reduce the risk of unforeseen accidents.
Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:
1. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has prioritised the implementation of Red-Amber-Green (RAG) arrows at junctions in the vicinity of schools and Silver Zones, at locations where there is a history of accidents, and where the junctions are wider and have a higher posted speed.
2. As of end-2024, we have implemented RAG arrows at more than 1,200 junctions. Site studies are in progress for another 200 junctions, and LTA expects to complete the implementation of these RAG arrows by end-2025.
