I agree that PMD has to be ban because they have been causing trouble to pedestrian walk and elderly and even not properly ride on the proper pathway with proper speed they can cause injury & unexpected accident to the pedestrian

My mom cant see clearly on one eye, and it is really dangerous for escooters to be riding around on pavements at fast speed. How is it fair that she cant walk on the streets feeling safe, and have to vary about oncoming escooters from all directions?

I totally agree to ban pmd. Now I have a phobia of walking along the pedestrian walkway due to irresponsible Pmd riders always do not consider you safety when riding. After pmd is permitted to use the same pedestrian walkway, I have to worry my safety by looking for pmd approaching whether from front all behind. I had experienced a narrow escape when a speeding pmd hit me near a bus stop near Pasir Ris.

It’s better to be safe than to be sorry.

E-scooters and bicycles should be banned from pedestrian walkways. They are not only a nuisance, but a real danger to innocent people who need to walk every day!

In a few occasions I narrowly missed being hit by the e-bike or e-scooter. Walking now is no longer a pleasure or luxury but is a stress and burden to me. Why must we all suffer in silence to benefit a few people. The government encourages people to walk more but now walking is a danger. How many people have to die or injure then the government will ban all PMD, I wonder. Age limit or split path will not work as people don't follow the split path rule and even young people older than 16 will still ride recklessly for their own excitement and joy. I really hope the government will ban the PMD totally to return us the joy of walking.

Pls ban PMD Devices since it's is dangerous and it's very stressful to walk at the pavement it may cause accident like it happen recently when my dad was walking through the pavement he got hit by an delivery grab food scooter on his arm The rider did not apologize we hope LTA could look in this matter and take the necessary action to ban and avoid any conflict between pedestrian and the e-scooter rider I think for the long run the only solution is to Ban the PMD for the safety of the pedestrian especially elderly and kids.

Pedestrian walk is sandwich between the bicycle track and the vehicle road. Electronic device traveling at 10km/h and vehicle traveling at 50km/h. For narrow pedestrian path, PMD can snake through the 2 way traffic and nothing cannot be done except staring or shouting behind their back distantly

Ban them. Too many safety issues and dangerous riding. Crossing the roads without following traffic rules.
