Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Impact of Speed Limit Reduction on Personal Mobility Aid Users to Safely Cross Roads in Time

10 Jan 2024In Parliament
Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport in respect of the recent recommendation by the Active Mobility Advisory Panel to reduce the speed limit of all motorised personal mobility aids (PMAs), whether the recommended speed limit of 6 km/h will allow all PMA users to safely cross all roads in time including roads with two or more lanes in each direction.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     The Active Mobility Advisory Panel’s recommended speed limit of 6 km/h for personal mobility aids (PMAs) takes reference from normal walking speeds, which are typically not more than 4 to 6 km/h. Just as pedestrians have enough time to cross our roads safely, so can PMA users.
