SINGAPORE: Requiring cyclists to be licensed or bicycles to be registered may not have the desired effect of keeping roads in Singapore safe, say observers, noting that such measures may impede the country’s cycling vision.
Instead other efforts, such as putting greater emphasis on education, may bear more fruit in terms of keeping cyclists as well as other road users safe, transport experts told CNA.
