Previous moves to remove discretionary right turns at accident-prone junctions have yielded results, according to data from the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) Black Spot programme.
In at least two examples from the programme that aims to introduce engineering measures to improve road safety, the number of accidents more than halved at junctions where drivers had to wait for a green arrow to turn right.
