from 1 July 2025, a new rule in Singapore will prohibit bicycles and non-motorised personal mobility devices (e.g. kick scooters) from riding on Pedestrian‑Only Paths, which are footpaths that run next to cycling paths. Here's what you should know:

Enforcement & Penalties
[*]Starting 1 July 2025, enforcement begins:

• Fines of up to S$2,000
  
• Or up to 3 months' jail, or both, for first-time offenders 
  

[*]LTA officers and community ambassadors will patrol and educate riders on compliance
[*]There’s some discretion: briefly crossing onto the pedestrian path to avoid obstacles may be tolerated


How to Recognize One
They will be clearly marked with:

• Painted pedestrian logos
  
• Words like “Pedestrians Only”
  
• Often right beside a cycling path (which is marked with a bicycle symbol)
  

Where You Can Still Ride

• On shared paths (with bike and pedestrian logos) — yes, but keep speeds low
  
• On cycling paths — yes, for bicycles and PMDs
  
• On normal footpaths not marked “Pedestrians Only” — yes, but ≤ 10 km/h
