The "Turn Left On Red" sign puts the pedestrians at risk at this T-junction

The "Left Turn On Red" sign might not be safe to be implemented in all the traffic junctions. Look at the picture above, the main road is "green light" now, the white truck stops at the outer lane of the minor road because it is "red light". But, the vehicle in the first lane of the minor road is able to turn left according to the sign "Left Turn On Red".

Imagine a pedestrian is now crossing the road from the right side of the picture, he has the right of way because the pedestrian crossing light shows "green man". But, the white truck (and often big buses because this junction is near the Hougang Central Interchange) is blocking his field of vision and the pedestrian might not be able to see the vehicle that is turning left on red. This is where the pedestrian is at risk of being knocked down even though he has the right of way. Similarly, the vehicle on the first lane also has the right of way as the sign allows the vehicle in the first lane to turn left on red.

I have contacted the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to review this case on safety ground. The "Turn Left On Red" sign should be removed at least for this junction. The same sign implemented at other similar junctions throughout the island should be reviewed as well.
