<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThese Friendly Streets are tailored to residents\u2019 needs, and their features may differ from one precinct to another to better cater to each neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
As part of the initiative, traffic-calming measures such as these green road strips have been introduced. They serve as visual cues to encourage motorists to slow down and give them more time to react to pedestrians.<\/p>\n
Other features of the Friendly Streets include raised zebra crossings, signalised crossings with pedestrian priority, kerbless crossings, and more.<\/p>\n
LTA first introduced the initiative in five pilot towns \u2014 Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Batok West, Tampines, Toa Payoh and West Coast. Works will begin at another 10 locations this year.<\/p>\n
By 2030, all towns across Singapore are expected to have Friendly Streets.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m a driver and I didn\u2019t know\u2019<\/h2>\n
Several netizens said they were unaware of the initiative, while others pointed out that the green road strips are part of LTA\u2019s Friendly Streets programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a driver and I didn\u2019t know,\u201d a commenter wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI live in Beo Crescent and I didn\u2019t know they have this,\u201d one said, while another said they were confused.<\/p>\n
Several other netizens pointed out that these green road strips are part of LTA\u2019s Friendly Streets initiative.<\/p>\n
Others, however, were quick to joke about the markings, with one quipping: \u201cIt charges your car when you drive past\u201d.<\/p>\n
Another described the green road strips as a \u201cMario Kart speed boost\u201d.<\/p>\n
