This is a petition from members of schools, children establishments and parents to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to review and provide a safe crossing on Unity Street for all children and caretakers.
The 4-way crossing on Unity Street is in a school zone without adequate safeguards in place to ensure caretakers and children can safely cross the road. The buildings in the vicinity of the intersection house several pre-schools and centres that cater to children from as young as 6 months. There is no zebra crossing or signalised traffic lights in place. This makes the intersection extremely confusing and dangerous with a high risk to young children. The current set up with a little island and a hump is not sufficient.
We request the LTA to install traffic lights and/or a zebra crossing to ensure that caretakers and children feel safe crossing the road in a school zone.

it is so dangerous i have been living here for over 5 years and have seen so many aggressive taxi drivers driving as if they want to run everyone over at the T secton - it is hard to look at which side to look because taxis just come out flying from everywhere
This is a busy road, especially at rush hour and is impossible to cross with a pushchair. There is also a sign for UE square on the corner of one road and restricts the view to cross. My helper feels that the crossing is so unsafe that she will not go to UE with my baby
This junction is extremely dangerous in its current condition. It is jammed with cars in the morning and late afternoon when the kids are going to/from school and I have witnessed bumps, near misses and a lot of confusion for cars and pedestrians alike. You need some traffic controls to sort out the mess.
I had approached lta myself 5 years back but the officer informed me to cross using the divider which was an unacceptable response given I had 2 kids at that time. ( now I have 3) this is long overdue for the safety of kids crossing between the buildings
This is sorely needed at such a busy pedestrian and traffic intersection, particularly in the mornings and late afternoons. There are so many children’s activities and preschools on various sides of the road, yet no safe places to cross, especially with prams.
This is a busy street with a lot of through traffic, there is also a lot of pedestrian traffic including children. Singapore is one of the great global cities, there is always room to improve livability and improving pedestrian safety is a key way to make Singapore even better.
Please provide a crossing so we can safely cross the road with children

I am the mother of a two year old boy who goes twice a week to children’s classes at Power Gym in UE square. Sometimes my son also attends with our helper. There is no safe way to cross this very busy intersection! It is far too dangerous. Please create an safe intersection before someone gets hurt. Thank you
