From 1 July, cyclists and unauthorised riders who enter “Pedestrian-Only Paths” will risk a fine of up to S$2,000, three months’ jail, or both, as new regulations officially kick in.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday (1 July), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced stricter enforcement measures aimed at protecting more vulnerable pedestrians — including children and the elderly — from potentially hazardous encounters on footpaths.
Other than pedestrians, only Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) users will be allowed on “Pedestrian-Only Paths”, but they must keep to a speed of no more than 6km/h, essentially walking space.

Meanwhile, cyclists, non-motorised Personal Mobility Device (PMD) riders, and motorised PMD users found on these paths will face penalties, including a fine of up to S$2,000, a jail term of up to three months, or both, for first-time offenders.
Although pedestrians are still allowed to walk on cycling paths, the LTA strongly encourages them to use designated “Pedestrian-Only Paths” wherever possible.

All path users — especially cyclists — are reminded to watch out for pedestrians and prioritise their safety.
Since August 2024, the LTA has been converting footpaths adjacent to cycling paths into officially designated “Pedestrian-Only Paths” as part of efforts to reduce conflict between walkers and riders.
These redesigned paths will be clearly marked with “Pedestrians Only” signs and pedestrian logos at regular intervals.
