Mr Sitoh Yih Pin asked the Minister for Transport whether LTA can consider applying restrictions such as "dismount and walk" for users of e-bikes and personal mobility devices when they travel within designated Silver Zones.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The Active Mobility Code of Conduct issued by the Active Mobility Advisory Panel (AMAP) in March 2016 stipulates that cyclists and users of e-bikes and personal mobility devices should dismount and push their devices at areas with high pedestrian traffic. This applies to all public paths regardless of whether they are within or outside Silver Zones. The AMAP will be considering further refinements to the active mobility rules in 2018.
