Yahgo22 1st Gear June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 do u notice that many road junctions traffic light timing are very poorly timed. think what LTA do is to just use a standard timer i come across so many minor roads are given very long durations in the favour of green light while a long que of cars on the major road 1 is the new junction along jalan kayu the green light timing given to that minor road on the left leading to some nursery are very long lta officers are zzzz on the job when come to increase ERP rates they are very efficent really chiak liow bee ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 (edited) It's a conspiracy theory. The longer the traffic jams, the more fuel to use. The more fuel used, the more duty & GST collected. The worsen jams, increase ERP & decrease COE quota all brings back to more revenue collected. Edited June 21, 2014 by Vhtfhwlego 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last i checked, LTA doesn't send a roaming employee to monitor every traffic situation in Singapore.

Kb27 Supersonic June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Yeap, I've said this long ago. Around Yishun Ring Rd, LTA put pedestrian crossings in between major traffic junctions. Pedestrian crossings lights are timed to always put you in the red. Red..red..red. They think all cars always stopping at junction are safe. They don't want to see cars moving freely.

Then, if enough of us bother to write in with the exact same feedback, they may (if they don't outright ignore it), grudgingly convene a "public conversation" panel of mouthpieces, with the audience being carefully selected from the "Whites", so that the outcome/verdict is predetermined - that the existing system doesn't need a change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did feedback once before about right-turning arrow timing and they actually called me back to verify the location and it was fixed within a month.

I kind of think sometimes they do it on purpose to prevent you from speeding. In Seng Kang (Punggol Road) also the same, traffic lights (junction + pedestrian) all within short distance. At one point (near Rivervale Plaza) there was a pedestrian crossing in between 2 overhead bridges shortly before/after it.

Kyrios Turbocharged June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 Although it is standard timer, I have noticed some junctions will have their timings changed according to whether it is peak hours or late night. But having worked in tuas, I can say nobody in lta pays attention to the interval timings there. Some lorries wait until bochup just come out regardless whether red or not.

U think that our first world care?If they care, hybrid, diesel, green cars should be not taxed higher then normal cars. On the other side, if that oil majors moved out from Singapore because of Singapore being too green, Many would lose business, jobs, economy goes south.

Volvobrick Supersonic June 21, 2014 Share June 21, 2014 LTA is probably the worst govt acency. They take 3 months to patch a small pothole.... which should be a no brainer action right?To rectify something that require thinking like poor traffic management at junctions, maybe will take 3 years.....
