Extension of Guidelines for Designated Delivery Driver Parking Lots to Existing Malls

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Acting Minister for Transport whether the guidelines for commercial mall operators to set aside designated short-term delivery driver parking for bicycles and/or motorcycles will be retroactively promulgated to existing malls, or if they only apply to new developments.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.          URA and LTA issued an advisory note in 2022 to encourage commercial malls to set aside delivery waiting bays for the motorcycles and active mobility devices of delivery personnel. This applies to both new and existing developments.

2.          Agencies are also studying other ways to make future developments friendlier to delivery riders, such as mandating delivery waiting bays. More information will be shared when ready.
