The focus of the new regulations is to prevent cyclists and PMD users from riding on pedestrian-only paths. While pedestrians are encouraged to use the dedicated pedestrian paths for their own safety, they will not be penalised for occasionally straying onto cycling paths.

The law does not apply to deliberate jaywalking, but to straying onto cycling paths. The problem is the lack of enforcement and pedestrians and cyclists who do not know the difference.
