SINGAPORE: Some residents in Aljunied and Hougang want personal mobility devices banned from HDB void decks and common areas, but the Workers' Party-run Aljunied-Hougang Town Council said on Friday that it already has"powers" to deter people from riding such devices in common areas.
"Secondly, residents who observe errant PMD riders are encouraged to use LTA's new app to spot, snap and send ."Separately, AHTC said it is working with the Land Transport Authority to implement pedestrian-only zones in its district. "There are blind spots. Kids are running everywhere and they might get hit. It's quite dangerous," said technical manager Tan Yap Chong, 39.
"If the rules are too tight, then they cannot work," said the 36-year-old, who himself delivers food on a motorcycle."But if the offenders are kids riding dangerously for fun, they should be punished. Those who are repeatedly reckless should be fined and have their devices confiscated."Retiree Jamaludin Mohd, however, said that not all food delivery riders are mindful, noting that they are usually"rushing against time".
Hougang resident Danny Sim, an engineer, said a ban"with no action taken is redundant"."The ban should be implemented, but who is going to enforce?" the 35-year-old asked.
