The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has issued a warning to social media users against taking part in the latest TikTok trend that involves hanging from traffic lights, street signs, and other roadside structures. In a Facebook video posted on 14 Oct, the agency said it was aware of the viral challenge and cautioned the public against engaging in such behaviour.
The trend, which has gained global traction on TikTok, features young people filming themselves lip-syncing to American rapper Kid Cudi’s 2008 track Maui Wowie while dangling from street fixtures.
In the video, which featured AI-generated people hanging from street signs and traffic lights, LTA warned, "Our road infrastructure keeps you safe, not for you to stunt on for likes."
The trend began after TikTok user @aaronxbrownn uploaded a video from Honolulu, which quickly amassed millions of views and inspired copycat attempts worldwide.
LTA said, "Fun’s fun, but our road infrastructure isn’t a playground. It helps facilitate travel and keeps everyone safe. Please don’t use them as props for social media."
