Bicycles and non-motorised PMDs such as kick scooters will be banned from these paths.
Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat walks through the Bishan cycling network, the latest to be completed under the Islandwide Cycling Network programme.
To give cyclists and users of non-motorised PMDs time to adjust to the move, enforcement will start only from July 1, 2025. First-time offenders convicted of riding on a pedestrian-only path could be fined up to $2,000 or jailed for three months, or both.After the move takes effect, only pedestrians and users of personal mobility aids, such as mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs, will be allowed on pedestrian-only paths.
To alert users to pedestrian-only paths, physical markings – including pedestrian logos and “pedestrians only” wording – will be imprinted on footpaths that are next to cycling paths.Bicycles, electric bicycles, motorised and non-motorised PMDs, and personal mobility aids will continue to be allowed on cycling paths.Mr Chee said that in tandem with an expanded cycling path network, footpaths running parallel to dedicated cycling lanes would at least double by that time.
Even so, she said pedestrians should do their part too. “If the rule is for cyclists not to get into the pedestrians’ path, then the same should apply to pedestrians – that they do not walk on the cycling path.”
