REACH - Feedback on PMD

(B) Reducing accidents cause by PMD against pedestrians

(1) When sharing a walkway by pedestrians with PMD, the chances of accidents will be quite high ---- unless PMD users are particularly mindful to always slow down when approaching pedestrains, notify pedestrians in advance especially when it is coming from behind, and if too crowded - willing to dismount and push the PMD to avoid hitting pedestrians.
Pedestrians on the other hand also need to give way if possible to let the PMD want to go past it.
Mutual respect will greatly reduce accidents by PMD onto pedestrians.
But this may not be often possible. Thus more effective approach should be considered to eliminate or greatly reduced the chances of accidents by PMD against pedestrians.

(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.
