Written Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan to Parliamentary Question on Average Cost of Constructing a Signalised Pedestrian Crossing

28 February 2018

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.

Ms Sun Xueling asked the Minister for Transport 

a.     what is the average cost of constructing a signalised pedestrian crossing; and

b.     what is the assessment criteria for constructing a pedestrian crossing.

Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:

1.     The average cost of constructing a signalised pedestrian crossing is about $250,000. 

2.     When assessing the need for a pedestrian crossing, LTA evaluates whether the crossing would enhance connectivity to key amenities and major transport nodes, and also takes into account factors such as traffic volume and road geometry. If providing an at-grade pedestrian crossing would be dangerous or cause serious traffic congestion, LTA will consider other types of crossing facilities such as pedestrian overhead bridges or underpasses.
