Pedestrian code of conduct divides opinion among path users
SINGAPORE - Real estate lecturer Celeste Ng, 53, was walking down the left side of a footpath in Bukit Batok recently when she spotted a cyclist riding towards her from the opposite direction.
But the code has also drawn support from people who feel that ensuring safety on public paths is a shared responsibility. Second, a pedestrian should cross a road using a pedestrian crossing if there is a choice between that and a bicycle crossing. There are no penalties imposed on pedestrians who do not follow these suggestions, which were recently added to an existing code of conduct for path users that had previously focused on cyclists and users of personal mobility devices.
Cycling group Love Cycling SG founder Francis Chu said cyclists should always give way and keep a safe distance from pedestrians, as stated in the code of conduct for active mobility device users.
