Amy Khor on bollards at pedestrian crossings
In parliament on Tuesday (Mar 4), Senior Minister of State for Transport Amy Khor stated that the bollards that the Land Transport Authority has installed at around 100 signal light junctions are safety bollards that help protect pedestrians waiting to cross the road. Replying to an MP's questions, she said that these safety bollards are designed to balance between absorbing impact from a vehicle and not causing serious injury to passengers in the vehicle. She added that in contrast, as security bollards are designed to withstand high-impact collisions without yielding, when a vehicle hits a security bollard, the vehicle will likely suffer severe damage and the passengers in the vehicle risk serious or even fatal injury.
