Over 5,000 people gathered on Joo Chiat Road in Singapore on October 3rd as the street was closed to vehicular traffic for World Car-Free Day. This marked a significant expansion of the annual event, representing the first time a location outside of the Central Business District (CBD) was designated as car-free. The initiative aimed to promote sustainable transportation and encourage residents to explore alternative modes of transport. The closure of Joo Chiat Road allowed pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy the space without the presence of cars. Organizers hoped to raise awareness about the benefits of reducing reliance on private vehicles. The event proved popular, drawing a large crowd and demonstrating public interest in car-free initiatives within Singapore.
