The rule simply says that motorists need to check that no pedestrians/cyclists are still in the process of crossing before they proceed.

The rules should be fair for all.. cyclists n pedestrians need to check before crossing the road when they have no right of way

I don't make the rules I'm simply stating that under the current legislation a driver does not have the right to mow down a cyclist, pedestrian or PMD rider simply because they didn't get out of the way in time.

If you're not happy please make an appointment with your friendly MP.

Pattaya pedestrians jump aside for sidewalk riders as Singapore imposes tough fines and jail terms - Pattaya Mail​

Vulnerable road users in Pattaya ask: If Singapore can protect its pedestrians, why can’t we?
PATTAYA, Thailand – As Singapore enforces tough penalties on sidewalk riders — including fines up to 50,000 baht and jail terms of up to three months — Pattaya residents are asking a familiar question: Where’s our version of traffic discipline?

Beginning July 1, Singapore’s Land Transport Authority officially enacted tough penalties for those who ride bicycles, e-scooters, or any motorized personal vehicle on designated pedestrian-only pavements. The move, aimed at protecting vulnerable footpath users like the elderly and children, comes after years of rising accidents and near-misses involving high-speed scooters and careless riders.




Under the new rules, offenders face fines of up to S$2,000 (about 50,000 baht), jail time of up to three months, or both—especially for reckless behavior or speeding. The law applies specifically to pavements marked as “footpaths only,” adjacent to bicycle lanes, and excludes all but pedestrians and those using mobility aids like wheelchairs or canes.

Meanwhile, in Pattaya — a city infamous for its traffic chaos — enforcement remains patchy at best. Motorbikes on sidewalks are still a common sight. Sidewalk vendors block pedestrian routes. Zebra crossings are often ignored. And just navigating a footpath without stepping into traffic feels like an obstacle course.

While Singapore fines and jails offenders, Pattaya’s sidewalks remain shared battlegrounds.
Despite repeated campaigns by City Hall and the Traffic Police to enforce order — including no-parking zones and designated crossing points — results have been inconsistent. Residents frequently voice frustration on social media over double-parked vehicles, speeding delivery bikes, and even the absence of clear signage in some areas.

If Singapore’s swift and serious response sets the benchmark, then Pattaya might have to do more than repaint crosswalks and post polite notices. Real deterrence comes from enforcement with teeth.

And with tourism returning, especially from safety-conscious regional markets, a well-ordered cityscape might be more than just a public safety issue — it could be a competitive advantage.

Sidewalks in Pattaya remain a free-for-all, even as neighboring nations tighten enforcement.Pedestrians in Pattaya jump for safety — while Singapore makes sidewalk riding a jailable offense.

Police are investigating a case in which a delivery rider was caught on camera punching a driver numerous times.

The incident occurred along Lorong Payah in Bencoolen on July 2.

Stomper Alvyn shared a video of the altercation, taken at around 1.36pm and which a friend forwarded to him.


The video shows the driver being confronted by the cyclist, who is in a Foodpanda shirt.

The cyclist can be seen knocking on the car window and pointing to the road behind.

As the driver moves forward, the cyclist hits his car with his bicycle wheel, causing the driver to stop and exit his vehicle.

The Foodpanda rider then dismounts his bicycle, which falls on its side, before punching the driver in the face numerous times.

The driver eventually falls to the ground. His passenger is seen exiting the car and on the phone.

A female voice in the video's background, presumably from the vehicle that had recorded the footage, can be heard repeatedly saying: "Call police, call police."

In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that they received a call for assistance at 1.35pm.

A 38-year-old man sustained minor injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital.

A 44-year-old man is assisting with investigations into a case of voluntarily causing hurt.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Stomp has contacted Foodpanda for more information.

Bus trails behind cyclists hogging lane in Yio Chu Kang, netizens slam 'king of the road' behaviour​

A video clip of a bus patiently following a group of five cyclists riding at a relaxed pace has drawn angry reactions from netizens.

Comments on the 52-second clip, posted on the public Facebook group Singapore Incidents with the caption "Bus Driver so patient.. If it's me I horn already…", showed very little love from other road users for cyclists in Singapore.

The bus appeared to be travelling in the Yio Chu Kang area when the video was recorded by one of its passengers.

The clip, posted on the morning of July 15, has been viewed more than 58,000 times. At press time, it had garnered about 500 reactions and 350 comments, and was shared 177 times.

'King of the road'​

Facebook users were mainly annoyed with the cyclists - who were occupying the entire width of the left lane - for holding up traffic, with many criticising them for being selfish and not keeping to the left edge of the lane.


Several added that there was little the bus driver could do besides following behind patiently because these were "VIPs" who would lodge a complaint against the driver if he dared honk at them.

The driver does manage to pass the cyclists towards the end of the video, but only when the road widens to three lanes.

"It's the cyclists' self-entitled mentality. When they find pedestrians slow, you can hear them ring ring ring from behind, demanding you give way. But when they are slower than cars on the road, you try to horn them lor," said Felicia Chew.

"They are blocking & delaying public transport from operating normally!" was Damien Leong's strident comment.

"The bus horn has no battery," said Rahimah Riz in jest.

Other comments - the milder ones - included "THEY ARE TURLY THE KING OF THE ROAD!!!!" and "They take up the whole lane!"

Anz Hasnul noted that both cyclists and the bus driver had their problems: "If me.. I overtake risky…cyclists also have no choice - only that left lane to keep. Everybody has no choice. Just follow the law."

Kaizoku Hagane summed it up when he said: "We just need more patience," But the cyclists need to be more considerate."

A small group of cyclists were seen riding without helmets and weaving between vehicles along Orchard Road on July 15 at about 11pm.

A Stomper shared dashcam footage with Stomp of the incident and expressed his concerns over the riders' dangerous behaviour.

"Don't let them be the cause for the rest of us to lose our licences," he said.


The video shows the Stomper trailing the three cyclists who weave between vehicles before cycling in the right-most lane and dispersing again.

According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), cyclists must wear a helmet when cycling on roads.

Singaporean cyclist dies in Johor after hitting pothole and being run over by lorry​

A 42-year-old Singaporean cyclist died in Johor after hitting a pothole and falling onto the road, where he was run over by a gravel-laden lorry. Authorities have ordered immediate road repairs, with investigations ongoing under Malaysia’s Road Transport Act.

MALAYSIA: A 42-year-old Singaporean cyclist died after he hit a pothole and fell onto the road before being run over by a gravel-laden lorry along Jalan Gunung Pulai in Kulai, Johor, on 14 June.

Kulai district police chief Assistant Commissioner Tan Seng Lee said the police received a report about the incident at around 9.45am, involving the cyclist and a trailer lorry.

Initial investigations revealed that the victim, who was cycling with three others, struck a pothole and fell onto the road.

At that moment, a 41-year-old local trailer driver, who was transporting gravel to Singapore, was unable to avoid the victim and ran over him.

“The victim was trapped under the lorry and suffered severe head injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene,” Tan said in a statement.

The lorry driver was unharmed, and the victim’s body has been sent to Temenggong Seri Maharaja Tun Ibrahim Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless or dangerous driving.

Police have urged witnesses to contact investigating officer Inspector Mohd Ruslan Mohamed at 013-306 3710 or visit the Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department at the Kulai district police headquarters.

Following the fatal accident, Malaysia’s Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi has instructed Johor authorities to carry out immediate rehabilitation work on the damaged road.

Nanta said the potholes along state road J165 were likely caused by heavy usage from lorries transporting materials from a nearby quarry, Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported.

While upgrading work on the road shoulder had been carried out earlier this year, the weight of heavy vehicles damaged the road surface again.

“Although the road falls under the jurisdiction of the state government, the Works Ministry is concerned about its condition, which poses a risk to road users, including motorcyclists and cyclists,” Nanta said.

As an immediate measure, he said he had contacted state authorities to ensure that repair work begins without delay, with more comprehensive repairs to follow once funding is approved.

Nanta also urged all parties involved in road maintenance to ensure that road conditions remain safe, especially for vulnerable road users.

He advised cyclists to avoid routes heavily used by heavy vehicles and to take extra precautions.

“Choose a suitable and safe time, such as early mornings on weekends, and always use safety equipment like helmets and reflective lights.

Obey traffic rules, avoid using mobile phones while cycling, and ensure that bicycles are in good condition,” he said.

Nanta also extended his condolences to the victim’s family.
