4 [Turn over (c)A Silver Zone is a designated area, often in residential areas with a high proportion of elderly residents, that implements enhanced road safety measures to prioritise the safety of older pedestrians. These measures include reduced speed limits (30-40 km/h), additional crossing points, and road features like reduced lane widths to slow traffic. A group of students investigated the effectiveness of Silver Zones in increasing pedestrian safety for the elderly. They used a handheld speed camera to measure the speed of oncoming vehicles at three different timings on a Monday. This was followed by a closed-ended questionnaire survey to collect the views of 20 elderly residents in the neighbourhood.Fig. 1.3 shows the location, marked with an ‘X’, where students stood to measure the speed of oncoming vehicles. Table 1.1 (Insert) shows the speed and number of cars.
