The Land Transport Authority (LTA) does not require cyclists to dismount at zebra crossings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cyclists must slow down, stop, and look out for traffic before crossing.<\/p>\n

LTA stated that mandating dismounts at crossings could introduce additional risks, such as for those with pillion riders or carrying loads.<\/p>\n

Additionally, seniors might also face challenges frequently dismounting their bicycles or Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs).<\/p>\n
