What does cat 5 road mean?

In the context of Singapore's road categorization, a Category 5 road refers to local access roads that are primarily used for direct access to buildings and connect to primary access roads. Here are some key characteristics of Category 5 roads:

- These roads are typically secondary or minor roads.
- They are often single-way or dual carriageways with only one or two lanes.
- They do not have a physical median.
- Examples of street suffixes for Category 5 roads include walk, lane, link, and others.
- These roads provide direct access to buildings and are connected to primary access roads, facilitating local traffic movement within residential or commercial areas.

For instance, in new towns like Sengkang and Punggol, you might find roads named Compassvale Walk, Compassvale Lane, or Compassvale Link, which are all examples of Category 5 roads.
