All public streets, including flyovers, viaducts, underpasses, circuses, vehicular bridges, pedestrian malls and private roads which are non-gated and freely accessible to the public and via public transport (e.g. roads within a university campus) come under the purview of the SBNB and will require naming approval.

Service roads, access roads, driveways and back lanes are not under the purview of the SBNB and hence, do not require naming approval.

The information is available on the URA website at ura.gov.sg/dc/sbnb/sbnb.htm. You can only view names of existing streets.

Why is the application of street name not available in Chinese?
Application of street name is not available in Chinese. The SBNB will liaise with the Ministry of Communications and Information (MCI) to translate the street name into Chinese based on the approved English street names.

WITHDRAWAL AND CHANGE OF STREET NAME :
Can an existing street name be changed or withdrawn?
Such applications will not be considered, especially if they affect numerous existing addresses as it would cause too much inconvenience to the residences and/or businesses along the road.

APPEAL :
Can the applicant appeal if the proposed street name is rejected?
Yes, the applicant can appeal to the SBNB within 21 days of receipt of the decision.

PROCESSING-TIME-STATUS-OF-APPLICATION :

Cases which require more deliberation (e.g. appeals) may take longer and applicant will be notified accordingly.

LEGISLATIONS :
Which statute does the SBNB operate under?
The SBNB operates under the Property Tax Act.

DIRECTIONAL-SIGNAGE :
Where can the public provide feedback regarding public roads and directional signage?
As public roads come under the purview of the Land Transport Authority (LTA), members of the public can feedback to LTA directly on such matters, including issues regarding directional signage to guide the public.

For suggestions on naming or re-naming of public roads, LTA will evaluate cases which have merit before putting up the case with proposed names to the SBNB for further consideration.
