Silver Zone Clarifications

Oral Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport, Ms Sun Xueling

Ms Lee Hui Ying asked the Acting Minister for Transport

a.     whether there are plans to designate additional Silver Zones beyond the planned 50;

b.     if yes, when is the next phase of implementation; and

c.     if no, whether LTA will review the Silver Zone plans, given the needs of our continually ageing population.

Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Ms Sun Xueling:

1.     Beyond the completion of the planned 50 Silver Zones islandwide, there are currently no plans to designate additional Silver Zones. LTA will continue to make commutes in our neighbourhoods safer, more convenient and comfortable for all by expanding the Friendly Streets initiative to all towns by 2030. Introduced in 2023, Friendly Streets encompass and build on existing efforts such as Silver Zones.
