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.
