Violation of non-rules on Singapore Road
Lack of rules on Singapore Road and penalties to be incurred if violated
Last year, on December 28, 2025, a passenger on a bus driving from HarbourFront in Singapore to Geylang saw a number of groups riding unregulated bicycles along the way, recording the video and sending it to the Stomp news agency.
The reporter said disappointedly: "It is really incredible, people cycling in the streets every weekday and public holidays are already like a common sight."
Of particular concern is that a group of young people are riding their bikes without wearing safety protective equipment at all, and they have also been driving past while the lights are red at an intersection.
According to the reporter, the bicycles on which they ride appear to be unsturdy and even extremely dangerous, and they are not wearing helmets.
According to the regulation of the Singapore Transport Authority (LTA), riding a bicycle on the road must be wearing a protective cap mandatory, other vehicles must be ridden from the far left of the road to give way, and if a team is riding, there must also be limited reservations in that regard to not exceed the designated population.
Such unregulated cycling accidents can lead to life-threatening injuries, and in the past there have been tragic incidents where a cyclist has died after arriving under a bus on Admiralty Drive.
"The public wants to ensure that officials take effective measures because innocent pedestrians and other drivers are at risk because of people travelling beyond the road unregulated."
It also brings together the basic rules for cyclists to follow on the road in Singapore and the fines they will pay if violated.
The Singapore Transport Authority (LTA) has strictly established the rules that cyclists must observe for safety rather than the road.
1 Wearing a protective cap (Helmet)
Regulation Anyone riding a bicycle on the road must wear a protective cap (Helmet) properly. (But if you ride on a cycling road or pavement, you don't have to winter)
You'll be fined $150 if you ride without a hat on the road for a fine.
2 Group rides (Group Size)
If you ride in a group on the road of regulations, you must not exceed a maximum of 15 feet (5 letters). That is to say, 5 persons per single-class ride, and no more than 10 per double-row ride.
Riding beyond the number of people prescribed penalties will be fined $150.
3 Pedestrian and traffic light rule observance
Regulation: do not drive through red lights, do not ride in reverse road, and must observe traffic lights and navigation marks, just like other vehicles.
I will be fined $150 for cutting red lights or reverse road rides.
4 A place to ride on the road
You must ride only at the far left of the regulation road (Far-left edge). There is absolutely no ride in highways (Expressways) and motorway tunnels (Road Tunnels).
Riding on the highway punishable by a minimum of $150, as well as a fine of up to $2,000 if reported to court, and up to 6 months in prison.
5 Dangerous Ride and Phone Use
It is forbidden to let go of the handle or use the phone with one hand while riding a discipline bike.
If you use a phone holder while riding a penalty bike, you can pay a fine of up to $1,000 on the first occasion and face up to 3 months in prison.
Note: If a cyclist repeatedly violates or seriously violates the above rules, the fine may be increased from $2,000 to $5,000 and he may also face imprisonment.
Riding bicycles on Pedestrian-only Path (pedestrian-only roads) is a fact prohibited by law. For that, the terms and fines are also outlined.
In Singapore, the road is divided into three categories.
Footpath (Pedestrian-only path)
A shared street (Shared path - PCN, for example) and
It is a motorway (road).
There is no bicycle ride at all on the streets where the sign says "Pedestrian-only path." You must only push the bicycle on those roads.
Fines (Penalty) If a pedestrian is caught riding a bicycle on a private road, he may be liable to a fine of up to $2,000, as well as imprisonment for not more than three months. (Position fines for first-time offenders are usually paid around $300, but the court is subject to a large court case).
To note, if you crash into a pedestrian while riding a bicycle on a footpath, you could be fined up to $5,000 and face up to 6 months in prison.
It is urged that respect for traffic rules is not only about one's life but also the safety of others, so that cruise cyclists should observe the rules accurately.
I suggest that we always respect the traffic rules so that the momentary happiness beyond the road does not lead to lifelong regrets.
