Pedestrian-only zones will be tested out as well.

The ban on PMDs at void decks and common corridors will take effect on 1 Sep, confirms PAP’s town council coordinating chairman Teo Ho Pin.

15 town councils run by the PAP will ban the use of personal mobility devices (PMDs) at both void decks and common corridors, as announced in Parliament today (5 Aug).

Separately, pedestrian-only zones will be tested at 4 towns: Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Batok and Khatib. This means that PMD riders must dismount and push, as one would for bicycles.

PMD accidents are rising, both in homes and in public areas, and this step is being made to counteract that, says Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Lam Pin Min.

Town councils have the power to ban the use of PMDs at void decks, and all 15 PAP-run town councils have decided to do so. These are:
  • Ang Mo Kio
  • Bishan – Toa Payoh
  • Chua Chu Kang
  • East Coast- Fengshan
  • Holland – Bukit Panjang
  • Jalan Besar
  • Jurong – Clementi
  • Marine Parade
  • Marsiling – Yew Tee
  • Nee Soon
  • Pasir Ris – Punggol
  • Sembawang
  • Tampines
  • Tanjong Pagar
  • West Coast

According to a statement given to TODAY, Aljunied – Hougang Town Council is considering their next course of action.

PMDs won’t be banned on footpaths; improvements to be made

Dr Lam points out that banning PMDs on footpaths will lead to them being on roads, which is more dangerous.

Instead, S＄50 million will be set aside to make changes such as widening footpaths, speed-regulating strips and warning signs.

These improvements will be made to accident-prone areas.

Most people regard any injuries from accident that occurred in life as a misfortune, an injustice, especially if it is caused by someone else.

Cycling paths will be built in Ang Mo Kio streets 22, 41, 43, and 61 as footpaths there cannot be widened. Land will be reclaimed to build these cycling paths, to be completed in the next three years.


The Land Transport Authority will launch a three-month trial of pedestrian-only zones in selected town councils and double its enforcement team on the ground to 200 officers by the end of the year.
