The new raised zebra crossing on Ang Mo Kio Street 31 is good news for residents like Lim. The 64-year-old facility manager is partially blind due to an operation on his right eye 30 years ago. «I can't really see oncoming traffic that well,» Lim, who declined to give his full name, told AsiaOne on Thursday (July 18). «Since the zebra crossing has a hump that forces vehicles to slow down, I feel even safer while crossing the road now.» The raised zebra crossing is one of the new pedestrian-friendly features in Ang Mo Kio — the first to be completed out of the five locations under the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) Friendly Streets initiative. In an Instagram post on Monday (July 15), the LTA said that other amenities include reduced traffic speed limits, green road markings to alert motorists to slow down ahead of traffic lights, and kerbless crossings. They added that works in the other locations — in Bukit Batok West, Tampines, Toa Payoh and West Coast — are ongoing and will be progressively completed from the third quarter of 2024. Read more
