Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Potential Dangers of Installing Bright, Flickering and Strobe Lights on AMDS
24 Sep 2025In Parliament
Ms Lee Hui Ying asked the Minister for Transport
a. whether any studies have been conducted on the potential dangers of light brightness, flickering lights and strobe lights placed on active mobility devices (AMD);
b. if yes, what measures has the Ministry considered to address these dangers; and
c. if not, whether the Ministry will consider such a study and look into regulating lights on AMDs.
Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:
1. While lights generally improve safety, certain types of lights on Active Mobility Devices (AMDs) can pose dangers to other path and road users. Under the code of conduct for public path users, AMD users, including cyclists and Personal Mobility Device (PMD) riders, should use lights in a manner that is considerate to others, and avoid shining their lights onto the faces of other people.
2. Land Transport Authority (LTA) will monitor the use of lights on AMDs as well as public feedback and review the relevant guidelines and rules where necessary.
3. LTA will also emphasise safe and gracious riding practices in its public education campaigns. On the ground, enforcement officers also educate path users on proper path etiquette.
