TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Left-Turn-on-Red Traffic Scheme in Singapore JO - ITE journal A1 - Wong, Y. D. A1 - Ho, JS A1 - Foo, HYT SP - 24 EP - 28 VL - 74 IS - 11 N2 - In 1997, the Singapore Land Transport Authority launched the left-turn-on-red (LTOR) scheme, a traffic management practice that is equivalent to right-turn-on-red in North America. The scheme began with two intersections and progressively expanded to more than 50 intersections within a year, and more intersections were added in later years. LTOR was removed at certain implemented sites that subsequently experienced unfavorable conditions. For the past five years, LTOR has resulted in substantial time (and energy) savings from reductions in vehicle stopped delay. There has been a small increase in accident occurrences.
