This report highlights Singapore’s success in adopting the Safe System Approach for road safety, making its roads among the safest globally.

Key strategies include strict vehicle import standards, regular inspections, and a vehicle quota system to ensure high safety compliance. Road safety education is spearheaded by the Traffic Police, with support from NGOs. Measures like speed cameras, traffic-calming techniques, and Project Safety Reviews enhance safety. Special zones, such as Silver and School Zones, prioritize vulnerable road users with lower speed limits and enhanced features. Despite progress, improvements in pedestrian infrastructure remain essential to further reduce fatalities and boost sustainability.
