Early Alerts for Road Diversions Using Digital Message Display Units

28 Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA will look into increasing the digital message display units at all major roads/highways to advise motorists to divert early and use alternative roads when an accident ahead is likely to cause traffic slowdown or jams.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: In 2014, LTA had extended the digital message display units under the Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System (EMAS) to also serve major roads, in particular those that are used by motorists as alternatives to the expressways. LTA will continue to regularly review their numbers and locations.
