Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport in respect of the recent recommendation by the Active Mobility Advisory Panel to reduce the speed limit of all motorised personal mobility aids (PMAs), whether the recommended speed limit of six kilometres per hour will allow all PMA users to safely cross all roads in time, including roads with two or more lanes in each direction.
Mr Chee Hong Tat (for the Minister for Transport): The Active Mobility Advisory Panel’s recommended speed limit of six kilometres per hour for personal mobility aids (PMAs) takes reference from normal walking speeds, which are typically not more than four to six kilometres per hour. Just as pedestrians have enough time to cross our roads safely, so can PMA users.
