Traffic Light Sequence at Potong Pasir Avenue 2 and Potong Pasir Avenue 1 T-Junction

1 Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for Transport whether the traffic light sequence at the T-junction between Potong Pasir Avenue 2 and Potong Pasir Avenue 1 can be re-configured to only allow either vehicles to turn right from Avenue 2 to Avenue 1 or pedestrians to cross the road on Avenue 1 at any one time so as to prevent instances of near accidents.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be adjusting the traffic light timing to allow pedestrians to have a headstart in crossing the road, and for motorists to see the crossing pedestrians while waiting to turn right. LTA will also install additional road markings and signs to remind motorists to give way to pedestrians. These measures will enhance safety at the junction.
