Sep 10, 2024

Question No: 6100

Question by:  Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong

To ask the Minister for National Development (a) whether zebra crossings are allowed to be installed in HDB carparks; and (b) if not, whether the Government will consider allowing zebra crossings to be installed in HDB carparks in the interest of pedestrian safety.

Answer:

Zebra crossings are allowed in HDB car parks, provided they can be implemented safely. For example, pedestrians and motorists should have good visibility of one another for a sufficient distance.

Where the implementation of zebra crossings is not feasible, HDB will enhance road safety by providing courtesy crossings or traffic calming measures such as road humps to reduce vehicle speed. 

Safety is a shared responsibility and all car park users should exercise caution when driving or walking in a car park.
