CONFLICT MAY BE ADDED TO CURRENT STREET DESIGNS.
In two methods, infrastructure may increase road health: reducing the number of pedestrian-to-on-road collision points and reducing the severity of accidents.
For instance, Orchard Road is a busy pedestrian gateway because many activities take place on both sides of the road, increasing the number of times pedestrians need to cross it. It also functions as a major artery route for the large volumes of traffic passing. Obviously, this causes more connections between vehicles and pedestrians.
The latest options for pedestrians are signalized bridges and viaducts at busy intersections with lengthy waiting periods. But, footbridges may not be accessible to people with mobility issues, and the lengthy crossing lines may promote jaywalking.
Such conflicts are likely to be resolved by making Orchard Road into a pedestrian-friendly city and moving traffic to different roads. A 500m span of Orchard Road will now be pedestrianized, according to a schedule in progress. Bencoolen Street and a section of Woodlands Ring Road are other examples of routes with wider walking and cycling places.
However, these Singaporean streets conversions require a lot of time and resources. Before an infrastructure reform, detailed plans and many trials are necessary. So, these projects typically take years to complete, and they only presently occur on a smaller scale.  ,
Another less difficult-to-implement options may be considered, such as establishing more appropriate crossings near busy intersections like bus stops, food courts, institutions, and recreational areas. As time measures while larger projects are being worked on, pedestrian bridges or more numerous signalized crossings might also be used.
