SINGAPORE – A complete ban on the use of personal mobility devices (PMDs) in Singapore is a possibility if the behaviour of users does not improve.
The Government may have no choice but to do it, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Janil Puthucheary on Monday (Oct 7), as he urged users to be “extra responsible and mindful of others”.
It is reviewing thoroughly its plans to improve the safe use of PMDs amid the rising number of accidents and fires linked to the devices, he added.
Speaking in Parliament, Dr Janil also said new HDB towns will have a clear separation of traffic, with pedestrians on footpaths, active mobility devices on dedicated paths for PMDs and bicycles, and motor vehicles on roads.
But existing towns do not have many dedicated paths for PMDs, he added.
The Land Transport Authority is taking steps to mitigate the situation.
