SG: New Silver Zone ensures safety of residents
The LTA has rolled out their new Silver Zone programme. This programme, which was announced earlier this year, will see a slew of senior-friendly road safety features be instated in 5 locations with high population of the elderly. The first estate to receive the Silver Zone make over is the Bukit Merah Estate, and it is hoped that the new alterations will enhance road safety for vulnerable road users such as senior pedestrians. The Silver Zone has been fitted with road safety features that remind motorists to slow down and keep a careful lookout for pedestrians, as well as urge senior pedestrians to be vigilant when crossing the road. The features are based on best practices overseas, such as in South Korea and New York City, where similar zones have been established. Their entrances are treated with a series of special features, also known as the Silver Zone Gateway, to alert motorists to slow down and look out for pedestrians, along with signs and rumble strips to remind motorists to slow down and keep to 40 km/h. That, along with road alterations, should mean pedestrians are kept safe.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
