Red lights ..... waiting time!

latte-OO- SG

Juz wonder if u encounter certan traffic lights which is red for ridiculous amt of time (2-3min during morning peak)! It's doubly agoning when the road with green signal often has little or no cars travelling!

More importantly, is there any avenue to launch a "complaint"?!

BufPuf SG

wait 2-3 minutes will die ah?

there must be some reason why it was set that long

if the 'heavier' traffic side keep allowing cars to move, what will happen at the other junction? Jam also mah..they need to 'smooth' out the traffic somehow

There's an avenue to feed-back on the above issue.. Cos LTA can't be going to every single junction to see if it's stopping too long on one side while the other lane is free of vehicles..

However, if I'm not mistaken, most junctions uses sensor, so it could be a faulty sensor..

i believe the TS is a car driver. btw welcome to CARS.sgforums

a car can't jaywalk ya?

Some junctions have longer waiting time simply because they let many vehicles pass through at one go, sometimes taking up more than a minute on bi-directional incl green arrows.

Waiting time is also greatly dependent on traffic situations at nearby junctions. If there is are more cars and a larger 'green wave' towards town, expect 10 seconds more allowance on that side and 10 seconds less on the opposite direction. Laughing
