LTA to start enforcement on new pedestrian-only paths

The LTA has said that from 1 July 2025, it will commence enforcement actions against those riding on footpaths that have been converted to pedestrian-only paths, with cyclists as well as motorised and non-motorised Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) users facing penalties of up to $2,000 and/or up to three months' imprisonment for first-time offences.

Footpaths adjacent to cycling paths converted into pedestrian-only paths will be marked with pedestrian logos and 'Pedestrians-Only' wordings to clearly indicate their intended use. Only pedestrians and Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) users within their speed limit are allowed to use such paths.

From 1 July 2025, those who flout these rules may face penalties of up to $2,000 and/or imprisonment of up to three months for first-time offences

In addition, from Q1 2026, the speed limit for riding PMAs on public paths will be reduced from 10km/h to 6km/h, which is said to be similar to the speed of brisk walking.

To increase awareness, LTA has launched a 'Stay on Track' public education campaign in June 2025 across out-of-home and social media platforms. The campaign features prominent visual reminders at key locations islandwide to remind Active Mobility (AM) device users and pedestrians to keep to their respective paths.
