Our Silver Zone programme includes two-stage crossings, raised informal crossings with ramps for barrier-free movement and narrower lane widths so motorists travel at lower speeds and keep a better lookout for pedestrians.
THE
YCLIST
Cycling is easier with cycling connectors
and paths, and a clearer understanding of
how to share spaces. We’re expanding the
cycling path network and introducing bike
sharing so cycling is viable for more people.
An accompanying code of conduct will help
everyone look out for each other.26 The Cyclist Land Transport Authority 27 The Cyclist Annual Report 2015 / 16

The New Face of
Ang Mo Kio
Jeffrey Wong is all smiles these days.
A cycling enthusiast living in the Ang
Mo Kio area, he is ecstatic that his
neighbourhood is becoming a
cycling paradise.
There is the 4km cycling path that
loops around AMK Avenue 1, 3 and 8
that Jeffrey uses when he wants a quick
ride to refresh himself. “I love that I only
need to go downstairs for a leisurely
ride!” he exclaims. “So convenient!”
By 2020, the cycling path will be
developed into a 20km cycling path
network that includes a 2.6km cycling
and walking corridor connecting Yio
Chu Kang MRT Station to Bishan-
Ang Mo Kio Park. For Jeffrey, that
is definitely good news. “Then my
friends can walk with me while I
cycle!” he laughs.THE
IDER
Riding the train or bus is often the fastest
way to travel, especially as the train and
bus networks become more integrated
and seamless. We’re taking over rail and
bus assets to improve the responsiveness
of our system to commuters’ needs. This
will make the Ride in Walk Cycle Ride SG a
preferred way to go.32 The Rider Land Transport Authority 33 The Rider Annual Report 2015 / 16
