Traffic Improvement at Link@896

Link@896 is a commercial mall situated along Dunearn Road which has high traffic volume. There was constant feedback about traffic issues and pedestrian safety concerns. Link@896 management worked with LTA and grassroots leaders to improve the situation and has since enhanced safety and reduced near-miss accidents.

The following improvements were carried out by LTA and the developer of Link@896, Tuan Sing Holdings Limited:

1. Implementation of a yellow box along Dunearn Road, in front of Link@896, to assist vehicles to exit when there is a traffic queue;

2. Narrowing of current egress to improve pedestrian safety and discourage abrupt weaving movements (Note: Works have not been done yet and traffic cones are currently used to narrow down the egress);

3. Reconfiguration of the traffic route to create a new egress to improve the internal circulation and traffic flow along Dunearn Road; and

4. Construction of a new car park exit towards the new egress to reduce the number of vehicles exiting via the current egress and discourage illegal U-turns, thereby enhancing safety and reducing the risk of accidents.

The measures involved a detailed traffic analysis to identify optimal locations for egress modifications. The narrowed egress aimed to mitigate congestion and streamline traffic, contributing to a safer and more efficient road network.

The team actively sought input and support from local community partners, such as residents, businesses, and relevant authorities. Throughout the implementation, the team maintained open lines of communication with the community, through which they provided regular updates on the progress and addressed concerns.
