Road Line Plan
Future road reserve alignments and widths are systematically safeguarded based on various land use and transport studies. The road safeguarding information is made available to the public through Road Line Plans, which show this information graphically using cadastral data from the Land Survey Division of the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
Road Line Plans can be obtained for current valid cadastral lots in either PDF or CAD format at SLA’s Integrated Land Information Service (INLIS) portal.

Road Design Templates
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has published a set of road design templates. These templates comprise layout plans for typical road infrastructure, indicating the key details that Qualified Persons (QPs) need to incorporate when making road infrastructure proposal submissions to LTA. The templates complement LTA's existing resource publications and quick guides, by condensing the design details into a typical use example for industry professionals’ reference
The template drawings for Development Control (DC) submissions are attached as follows:
- Details Plan (PDF, 440kB)
- Road Alignment and Drainage Plan, Junction (PDF, 524kB)
- Road Alignment and Drainage Plan, Westbound (PDF 585kB)
- Road Alignment and Drainage Plan, Eastbound (PDF, 583kB)
- Road & Junction Layout Plan (PDF, 1.8MB)
While these road design templates provide typical layout plans and key details for road infrastructure, QPs should note that when making submissions to LTA, full adherence to LTA's design requirements is mandatory. This may necessitate additional detailing beyond what is featured in these templates. QPs are responsible for ensuring their submissions meet all applicable LTA standards and requirements.
