Stepped-up Enforcement at Jaywalking Hot Spots

Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Home Affairs whether there will be stepped-up enforcement at key hot spots of pedestrians dashing across signalised traffic junctions when the green man is not illuminated.

Mr K Shanmugam: The Traffic Police (TP) has stepped up its enforcement since 2023, with an emphasis on accident-prone locations and jaywalking hotspots. TP also engages and educates pedestrians, especially the elderly, on good road safety habits. It also works with the Land Transport Authority to enhance road safety through changes to road design and features.

Road safety is a collective responsibility. We would like to remind all road users, including pedestrians, to exercise care and follow all road traffic rules.
