Measures to Prevent Speeding and Reckless Riding by Cyclists

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question 

Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik asked the Acting Ministe

a.      what proactive enforcement measures are in place to prevent cyclists from speeding and riding recklessly;

b.      in the past three years, how many cyclists have been penalised for dangerous riding but without being involved in accidents; and

c.      whether enhanced surveillance or patrol systems will be implemented in high-risk areas.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.     Cyclists are required to ride within the speed limit of 10km/h on footpaths and 25km/h on shared paths. From 2023 to 2025, more than 650 cyclists were penalised for riding in a disorderly manner without due regard for the safety of others.

2.      Joint enforcement operations by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) are conducted against errant cyclists. For hotspots, LTA conducts targeted enforcement operations and deploys solutions like speed detection radars, warning signage and CCTVs to deter and detect errant riding. LTA also conducts patrols with the community to promote awareness of proper riding behaviours.
