PEDESTRIAN ZEBRA CROSSINGS (Warning signs)

Mr Ho Kah Leong asked the Minister for National Development if the Public Works Department will erect proper signs to warn motorists of pedestrian zebra crossings ahead.

Mr Teh Cheang Wan: Mr Speaker, Sir, "Pedestrian Crossing Ahead" signs have been installed to warn motorists of the presence of zebra crossings. Some of these signs may not be easily seen by approaching motorists, e.g. at a bend or crest of a road.

The Public Works Department will be conducting a survey to find out whether more warning signs should be installed at existing zebra crossings.
