Debated in Parliament on 2 Oct 2017.
Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar asked the Minister for Transport whether motorcyclists, cyclists or riders of personal mobility devices who ride recklessly or dangerously in void decks of HDB blocks or on pedestrian footpaths can be issued with a summons by LTA once they are captured on camera or video by residents or Town Council personnel who thereafter submit these as proof of reckless or dangerous riding.
We welcome the submission of photographs and videos to enhance the Land Transport Authority's (LTA’s) enforcement efforts against reckless riding. When the Active Mobility Act comes into force at the end of this year, reckless riders will be liable for fines up to $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both.
At the same time, LTA has embarked on a nationwide communications campaign and is working with volunteers and stakeholders, such as interest groups and retailers of personal mobility devices, to raise awareness of the new active mobility rules.
