All active mobility devices allowed on roads in Singapore will have to comply with size limits from March 1.
From March 1, all active mobility devices that can be used on roads will be limited to a maximum of 130cm in width and 260cm in length. The existing limits of a maximum of 70cm in width and 20kg in unladen weight for devices used on paths will also apply to non-motorised cargo bicycles, cargo tricycles, rider-only tricycles and recumbents.

(Photo: CNA/Zamzahuri Abas) Across the Causeway in Malaysia's Melaka state, the Nyonya laksa at Donald & Lily restaurant is more"lemak" - that is, rich and coconut milk-creamy - and the gravy clings to a mix of yellow noodles and thin beehoon. Meanwhile, assam laksa, sold in coffee shops along the historic Jonker Walk in Melaka's Chinatown area, hits sharper; sour with the tang of tamarind and umami savouriness of ground fish.
