LEADIN:
A scheme to help elderly and disabled people cross the road safely is proving a huge success in Singapore.
New smart crossings allow pedestrians up to 13 seconds extra to get across the road.
STORYLINE:
Singapore, South East Asia's economic powerhouse, is a mix of modern and old. Gleaming new skyscrapers shoot skywards while traditional shophouses and public housing estates surround the heart of the financial district.
And one thing that's noticeable in Singapore's heartlands is the age of its population.
According to Dr Marissa Lee Medjeral-Mills, Executive Director for the Disabled People's Association (DPA), in addition to having an ageing population, at least 3 percent of people in Singapore have disabilities, although she believes the actual number to be higher.
One of the risks facing these groups is road safety and the ability to cross at traffic lights in the allocated time. So Singapore's Land Transport Authority, part of the Ministry of Transport, has devised a scheme to allocate more time at certain pedestrian crossings.
"Because of our ageing population, you know it's great for people who have mobility impairments and vision impairments, but as our population ages those people with disabilities will become older persons as well and face additional challenges getting around so it is really important that we allow for additional safety measures at pedestrian crossings," says Medjeral-Mills.
Launched in October 2009, the Green Man + initiative is now present at 1,000 pedestrian crossings, but Cheong Mun Onn, Manager of the Intelligent Transport Systems Development at the Land Transport Authority says this number is set to grow.
There are plans to roll out around 1,500 more pedestrian crossings in housing estates where the elderly stay by 2026.
"The benefits for this will be our elderly community and pedestrians with walking disabilities who require more time, need help to cross the roads safely on their own," says Onn.
"With the Green Man + they can expect up to 13 seconds more green man timings when crossing the junctions fitted with Green Man +."
Singapore resident Halipa Binte Ahmad is happy the scheme was implemented and finds it helpful when trying to get around:
"Before the Green Man + the time is too short. It's a hassle for me to reach the other kerb to kerb…And now it's better. I can, I don't have to run to reach to the next kerb," she says.
Eugene Jayme Escanan is unable to walk without an aid. He says he now feels safer and more comfortable crossing the road.
"It's a good thing because it allows me longer time to cross the road and the drivers are more patient on me."
The maximum additional time the Green Man + initiative can allocate is 13 seconds, but the actual duration will depend on the traffic light and the size of the junction.
Onn says research has been carried out to ensure that the new system will not affect the flow of traffic.
"We have conducted traffic simulation for pre- and post and the Green Man + itself is activation based scheme, so all this has been tested with mitigate to keep traffic congestion to be minimum."
Dr Medjeral-Mills says feedback from the community has been positive and that the initiative is definitively a step in the right direction towards inclusion for senior citizens and people with disabilities.
"Although 13 seconds doesn't sound like a lot of time when you tap your concession card for older persons and persons with disabilities, it's an invaluable safety net," she says.
"It's not something that is going to change the world but it's an important step in allowing for people, especially older persons where we worry about them being isolated in their homes, to get out and do things for themselves."
