Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA will consider constructing higher road divider barriers in areas prone to road traffic accidents to help prevent serious injuries and the tragic loss of lives in the event of an errant speeding vehicle.

Chee Hong Tat (for the Minister for Transport)

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) regularly reviews traffic accident data to identify areas with higher accident rates. For these identified areas, LTA will conduct detailed investigations to assess the need for additional road safety measures.

These measures include (a) road improvements, such as traffic calming measures and signages, as well as road safety barriers which prevent vehicles from crossing over to the other carriageway; and (b) education and outreach campaigns to encourage safer road user behaviour. In addition, LTA and the Traffic Police will work together to step up enforcement to deter dangerous driving behaviour and ensure compliance with traffic rules at these locations.
