SINGAPORE — A new cycling lane that will be operational on Sunday mornings will be trailed at West Camp Road in Seletar starting Oct 16, the Land Transport Authority said on Wednesday .LTA said in a Facebook post that the cycling lane will be demarcated by solid blue lines, and can be used by only buses and cyclists every Sunday from 5am to 11am, and will be in place for about six months.
An infographic shared by LTA shows the dedicated cycling lane on both sides of West Camp Road, which is in close proximity to Seletar Aerospace Park and Seletar Airport, an area popular with cyclists. LTA did not say how long the dedicated lane will be. A rough estimate based on Google Maps shows it is about 2.2km one way.The trial at Seletar was first announced by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Baey Yam Keng in March during the parliamentary debate on the ministry's budget.were introduced at the start of the year to limit cycling group size on roads to enhance safety of on-road cycling.
On the dedicated lane for cyclists in the upcoming trial, he said: "This lane will allow cyclists to cycle in larger groups, allowing them more safety and security while cycling along West Camp Road. "Hopefully, this would help newer on-road cyclists gain confidence and allow room for practising to cycle to the far left of the road when cycling elsewhere."One of them runs on both sides of Tanah Merah Coast Road near Changi Airport, and each lane is about 10km long.
