SINGAPORE – From July 1, cyclists and users of non-motorised personal mobility devices (PMDs) such as kick scooters can be penalised for riding on designated pedestrian-only footpaths located in towns across Singapore.
Only pedestrians and users of personal mobility aids (PMAs), such as electric wheelchairs, are allowed on pedestrian-only paths, which have the words “pedestrians only” painted on them.
Cycling paths have been painted red.
PMAs must also observe a speed limit of 6kmh by the first quarter of 2026, down from 10kmh.
Bicycles and non-motorised PMDs remain permitted on shared footpaths.
More than 200km of footpaths next to cycling lanes since the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced this initiative in August 2024.
These paths are found in towns including Tampines, Punggol, Sengkang, Yishun and Clementi.
