A system that turns traffic lights in favour of ambulances is being considered, in an apparent response to a rise in emergency cases here.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) are looking to develop a "traffic priority system" through a continuous "green wave" signal that will allow emergency ambulances to shorten their response time.
Both parties want to start on a trial involving five traffic junctions over a period of six months, according to tender documents obtained by The Straits Times. |
