This week, we impounded 78 devices during an islandwide enforcement operation targeting non-compliant active mobility (AM) devices in public areas and housing estates. 👮 This operation is part of our ongoing efforts and preventive measures to address the rising number of fire incidents involving non-compliant AM devices in residential areas. LTA is empowered to take enforcement action against non-compliant Power-Assisted Bicycles (PABs) and Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs). 🚫 Under Rule 3 of the Road Traffic (Power-Assisted Bicycles Approval) Rules 2004, it is an offence to keep non-compliant PABs. LTA can impound non-compliant PABs from any location. 🚫 Under Section 45 of the Active Mobility Act, LTA can impound devices found on public paths – including HDB common corridors and stairwells – that endanger other public path users. 📝 Notices will be issued to owners of impounded registered devices. PABs and e-scooters must be registered with LTA. Owners of unregistered devices can contact LTA for verification and investigation. ⚠️ #reminder Only purchase and use devices and parts (including batteries) from original manufacturers or authorised retailers. Using non-compliant devices is an offence and users may be fined up to $10,000, or face imprisonment up to 6 months, or both. 🚫 Learn more with the Be Device-Safe info pack at https://go.gov.sg/bedevicesafe
