Drivers say rules on yellow lights unfair

Traffic management authorities have pledged to upgrade traffic signals after motorists protested the new, harsher penalties for running yellow lights.

The pace of signal upgrading will quicken, the traffic management bureau under the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on Thursday.

New traffic regulations that took effect on Jan 1 stipulate that drivers who run a yellow light will have six points deducted from the 12 allocated points on their licenses.
