Compliance with Code of Practice for Advance Road Work Signs

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Acting Minister for Transport (a) how LTA ensures contractors comply with the Code of Practice for advance road work signs; (b) in the last three years, how many contractors were penalised for non-compliance; and (c) whether LTA will introduce a dedicated public reporting mechanism, such as via the OneService app, for motorists to report inadequately marked work zones.

The Code of Practice mandates all contractors to deploy qualified personnel to ensure the appropriate placement of barriers and advance warning signs for works. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) conducts regular checks and contractors who do not adhere to the guidelines will be penalised. On average, about 130 enforcement actions were taken against contractors annually over the past three years.

Members of the public may report instances of non-compliance through feedback channels, including the LTA website and the OneService application.
