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

Dennis Tan questioned whether the recommended speed limit of six kilometres per hour for motorised personal mobility aids (PMAs) would allow all users to safely cross all roads, including those with multiple lanes, in time.
The Minister's response noted that the six km/h limit is based on normal walking speeds (four to six km/h), suggesting PMA users can cross roads safely like pedestrians.
The Minister asserted that the speed limit ensures PMA users have adequate time to cross, aligning with pedestrian safety standards.
The debate centers on balancing safety for PMA users with the practicality of crossing roads within signal timings, especially on wider roads.
