Volvobrick Supersonic December 2, 2020 Share December 2, 2020 16 minutes ago, Yewheng said: So you see.. I point out the problem. So easy solution is to increase the traffic light timing duration by say 5 more seconds. As we can't possibly know what other drivers reaction time and etc. So it is a lot easier just by increasing the traffic light timing duration, or make the road wider for drivers to make u turn. Wider road = less time needed to make u turn. The 5 seconds got to be deducted from the time available for traffic going all the other directions, it is not free. I think we should ban slow reaction people from driving. Just like as NSF PC you won't let the blur sotong recruit throw a live grenade. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooose 6th Gear December 2, 2020 Share December 2, 2020 i think the focus should have been on the time allotted for the green turning arrow and not at all on the traffic camera .. mentioning it like this seems as if the traffic camera is removed it would be fine ..\ agree with the feedback to LTA approach ..

Sometimes traffic on the other directions can be no cars when green light. So the traffic light timing surely can be further optimise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some young ones are also sloths, some older ones like jaguar too.... Maybe should have a eye/hand coordination and reaction tests as part of the driving test.

Maybe should have a eye/hand coordination and reaction tests as part of the driving test. It is known fact that as ppl age, reaction time increase. This is especially when they like to drive E class, 5 series and whatever big sedan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You move a not even 1-3 car length then light Turns yellow and then red again. It’s annoying Where? Or are you talking about the changes to the traffic light junctions that have no more discretionary right turns? And this happen to have a red light camera. How about using an alternative route whose junction dont have a red light camera? Go further up to do an illegal u-turn lah. 🤣 You are so guai and so patient and so by the book. I gave up waiting already. Whenever I see a long queue I just drive further up take small roads, do a loop the legal way and siam the u-turn. I saved some time actually. There are some who did illegal u-turns but that's the other drivers not me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark 5th Gear December 2, 2020 Share December 2, 2020 There should not be any 10s green duration whether for right turn or go straight traffic lights as the typical reaction time for traffic to move off and to build up the momentum already half the time gone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can help by being like taxi uncle... once light is green, blare your horn 😆 I also notice these days many cars have to do a reverse move at u-turns.Dunno whether new drivers now low skill, car too wide, road too narrow or what? Really cock-up the entire queue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanoyip Turbocharged December 3, 2020 Share December 3, 2020 LTA should be using live data and traffic to augment the traffic light timing, not these stupid 10s 15s timing even when there's a bloody long line of cars waiting to do a turn! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the party that contract the work needs to know what is required. A contractor will not know what is required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just do what they are told. So if you write iffy statement like ,, " to be able to provide accuracy of upto 90% " with out giving a quantity, they are more than happy to accept the money. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
