Transcript
51 Dr Neo Kok Beng asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether LTA will increase the number and prominence of signs on popular pedestrian footpaths to inform other users that they must give way to pedestrians.
Mr Jeffrey Siow: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) deploys signs and path markings where they are needed to guide users to their appropriate paths. We do so judiciously based on ground conditions. For example, at potentially crowded locations, such as bus stops and crossings, there are signs to remind riders to give way to pedestrians and speed regulating strips to slow riders down.
