Silver Zones in Clementi West Street 2 and West Coast Drive latest to be ready Read more at straitstimes.com.
SINGAPORE - Seniors living near West Coast Market and Ayer Rajah Food Centre will be able to walk around their neighbourhoods with greater peace of mind after road modifications to improve pedestrian safety were officially completed on Sunday.
To further improve safety, some Silver Zones have had their speed limits lowered from 40kmh to 30kmh, and LTA has plans to do this at more places. He added: “We have already launched an initiative called Friendly Streets, which really will build on what we have with our Silver Zones, to make it even broader in terms of the coverage and the way we are able to make our neighbourhoods more friendly and easier for all residents.”the Friendly Streets initiative will be trialled in Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok West, Tampines, Toa Payoh and West Coast.
Y-junctions, for instance, were added to LTA’s toolkit only a few years ago, after Mr Tan noticed similar junctions being used in residential areas in Australia while he was travelling there. For instance, earlier versions of kerbless road crossings had concrete bollards, “Look” road markings and imprints. But these were removed for later iterations, and the LTA team found that pedestrians paid more attention to the traffic before they used such crossings.LTA has also increased its engagement with local communities to take in their views, Mr Tan said.
“We want to be sure that the reduced speed limit we are proposing is realistic... If we do not do it correctly with the complementary measures, you may eventually end up with a situation where the speed limit is 30kmh, but motorists still travel at 50kmh,” he added.Mr Tan said his team constantly monitors the traffic speeds at Silver Zones that have already been completed to see if there are possibilities to lower the speed limit at these places.
