Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Transport (a) how does the Ministry assess motorists' visibility of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings that are partially covered by shrubs and bushes; and (b) whether the Ministry has a standardised framework for assessment and subsequent pruning schedules for the safety of pedestrians.

Khaw Boon Wan

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) establishes no-planting zones around pedestrian crossings to ensure that motorists have a clear view of pedestrians. The size of these no-planting zones depends on site conditions, such as the geometry of the road and the speed limit. In addition, the National Parks Board conducts inspections at least once a month to make sure that greenery does not block the visibility of crossings.
