Arthur Fong

Mr Arthur Fong asked the Minister for Transport besides the installation of CCTVs, how else can LTA manage traffic jams, especially at Clementi MRT station.

Lui Tuck Yew

LTA adopts a range of measures to manage traffic congestion, including infrastructure improvement, traffic light timing adjustment and enforcement.

At the vicinity of Clementi MRT station, infrastructure improvements were implemented before the opening of the Clementi Integrated Transport Hub to cater to the anticipated increase in traffic. These included additional exclusive turning lanes for traffic turning into different parts of the Hub, extended bus bay and junction widening at Commonwealth Avenue West/Clementi Avenue 3. LTA has also stepped up enforcement against illegal parking and waiting, especially around the bus bay next to the MRT station. CCTVs will be installed soon as a further deterrence.
