Inclusion of Walking and Cycling Plan under Traffic Impact Assessment

Version 1.2 The Code of Practice on Street Work Proposal Relating to Development Works replaces the “Street Work Proposals Relating to Development Works” guidebook that has been in circulation since 2007. Many significant changes have since occurred in the environment in which the Land Transport Authority constructs and maintains its infrastructure and the specifications have been revised to fit this environment. The guidebook has been renamed as Code of Practice to underscore the importance of this publication to street work proposals that are done in tandem with development proposals. Many useful features have been introduced in this code to facilitate easy reading and quick retrieval of information. Throughout the code, colored spots are used to flag relevant codes and standards. Hyperlinks to these codes and standards are provided where available. The entire set of diagrams have been enhanced to ensure legibility and important sections of the diagrams have been highlighted to bring the reader’s attention to the features that are relevant to the topic. Please refer to the User Guide on page 2 for more on this. This code introduces the technical requirements, standards and specifications of the Land Transport Authority to aid the design of development layout with regards to proposed street works, as well as the engineering design and construction of proposed street works. Although it touches more on the civil engineering design and construction of street and street related works, this publication also highlights some of the essential submission procedures and technical requirements in relation to the design and installation of Mechanical and Electrical items for street and street related works. The Code of Practice has been updated to include the new requirement of a Walking and Cycling Plan (WCP) . As part of Walk Cycle Ride SG’s vision, the Land Transport Authority and Urban Redevelopment Authority have jointly launched the new Walking and Cycling Plan to ensure that our built environment is designed to address the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. The relevant requirements and procedures on submission can be found in Chapter 9: Traffic Impact Assessment.
