Poor traffic light management by LTA

[Yahgo22]

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

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.

So instead of airing your views here, why not take the time to channel it to the relevant authorities. Last i checked, LTA doesn't send a roaming employee to monitor every traffic situation in Singapore.

 

For a start try this - https://talk2lta.lta.gov.sg/AskLTAContentController?action=Public.AskLTA.CreateFeedback

if i am not wrong, they do hv a designated officer in charge of a certain area or zone

 

it is better to air my view here than to send it to them direct

 

here more ppl will read and hopefully the media and tuck you will pick up

 

u try calling lta officer, chances is "the person u calling is not available kindly lv yr contact nos and i will get back to u

 

asap"

 

good luck to u if he get back to u

 

the chances of striking 30 bucks toto is 10x better

Email to LTA to tell them lor. If it is really a legitimate complaint, they will have someone look into it.

Some traffic light like that one, you need to pay few more millions to get thing perfect

[Kb27]

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.

[Yahgo22]

arent LTA using COMPUTERISED SENSOR at road junction

Excellent idea! 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.

You'd caught those blood sucking and cunning mini stars red handed

100% agree!

 

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.

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.

This will increase the CO2 output,even worse..

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.

feedback to relevant authorities has a greater chance of getting things done..I've feedback uncountable times so I know how it goes

[Volvobrick]

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.....

 

All their brain powers are already used up to think of new schemes to bleed us drier...

yes in theory..but in reality very few drivers actually bothered to call or feedback to LTA..ask yourself truthfully how many times do you feedback to LTA regarding traffic issues/faulty traffic lights/defective bus stop lights/street lamps/potholes/road signs etc?
