Ang Mo Kio Street 31 was the first completed pilot of the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA’s) “Friendly Streets” initiative.
It included a new raised zebra crossing between Blocks 318 and 348 and new barrier-free kerbless crossings, according to LTA.
They were installed to provide safer connectivity for residents walking to amenities such as Teck Ghee Court Neighbourhood Centre, Teck Ghee Primary School and transport nodes such as the MRT stations in the vicinity.
