LTA black spot locations in Singapore
What “black spot” means
MHA says the Traffic Police and LTA work together to identify places with high accident rates and develop targeted interventions. A location identified as a persistent hotspot may be designated under LTA’s Black Spot programme, which MHA describes as a structured initiative for more comprehensive traffic-engineering measures aimed at addressing the causes of accidents there. The Traffic Police may also step up enforcement at those locations (MHA, Second Reading of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2026 — Wrap Up Speech, para. 59).
LTA’s published location list
The LTA-hosted Black Spot Locations PDF lists 38 locations under three headings: 14 arterial-road locations, 15 expressway locations and 9 junctions. It names road sections and junctions but does not give a collision count or date range for each entry. Consult the LTA Black Spot Locations list for the locations themselves; the PDF has no publication or update date printed on it (LTA, Black Spot Locations).
Road works at listed locations
LTA separately says Auxiliary Police Officers (APOs) must be deployed for traffic regulation duties at black spot locations during road works, regardless of the road category. LTA’s road-category table says APOs are required on expressways and major arterial roads, while ASOs may be deployed on the listed lower road categories subject to the page’s suitability requirements; black spot locations require APOs regardless of category. This is an operational requirement for road-work traffic control, not a special driving rule for motorists (LTA, Authorisation of Security Officers to Regulate Traffic for Road Works).
Coverage debt
The published list does not state its selection threshold, the accident data period, or when it was last reviewed. MHA describes the programme’s purpose, but the sources cited here do not state site-specific accident figures or which engineering treatment was applied at each location. The list should not be read as a real-time traffic alert or as a complete ranking of dangerous roads.
