Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min recently announced that the expansion of Singapore’s cycling paths – set to grow to 1,300km by 2030 – could be expedited.
This is a welcome announcement for PMD users, said Mr Koh, adding he hoped all footpaths wider than 2.5m could be reclassified as shared paths to allow for the responsible use of e-scooters.
“For instance, decreasing the width of car lanes can free up the extra space needed for bicycle lanes without widening the overall road. It requires some creativity and innovation to conventional models of traffic engineering.”

(2) A separate pathway for pedestrians and another pathway dedicated to PMDs and cyclists - will be the best solution to prevent accidents.
Given that it require time and money and adequate spaces to build a separate pathway for PMDs and cyclists --- the Government should "aggressively" look into ways to build sufficient separate pathway for PMDs and cyclists ---- in order for accidents by PMD to be eliminiated or greatly reduced.

(3) Interim measures of "dividing the footpath" into pedestrian path and PMD path
- Can consider drawing a middle line on existing footpath - left side for pedestrian and right side for PMD.
- This interim measure is used until the PMD path for the whole Country is ready.
