that’s why all the cycling “paths” are meaningless KPI padding

Many might not be aware of what OP is trying to show in this video. Under the active mobility act 2018, a cyclist must stop when approaching an informal crossing such as that shown in the video.
Can u exercise discretion and slow down instead of stop when there is no traffic? Answer is unfortunately no and u can be caught by LTA for not stopping.
Does LTA catch people for doing that? Well they have enforcements n if u r unlucky there u go.
Penalty is a fine up to 1k or 3 months jail for first offence.
It's mind boggling.

Then there’s those PMD zooming uncles who DGAF and just go straight along the actual road.

These cycling lanes aren't truly meant for cyclists. They're created to create an illusion of inclusivity and a PR show. Remember this and you're fine.

It’s interesting how Singapore is designed for cars and how cars are considered the kings of the roads. Normally the more developed a country is, the more pedestrians and cyclists reign

This so much. The bike paths are not enjoyable when it's so disjointed and cut off every 100 meters. Plus the quality is pretty bad, potholes everywhere. Tbf there are some great stretches that are smoothly paved but they are more of an exception than the norm.

This PARTICULAR cycling path in the video looks dumb and might as well not be there, but based on my experience cycling and running around pretty much the entirety of western Singapore, it's mostly not like that. Plenty of smooth uninterrupted paths... the only interruptions will be people who suka suka jalan jalan on those paths.

Let’s be real here, if there’s no pedestrian, ain’t nobody gonna dismount.
OP video is obviously satire, but main point is, the government doesn’t seem to be doing a good job at making cycling and pedestrian better. With banning of PMD on pavements, it makes greener transport even harder.
While banning PMDs do hinder maniacal YPs blasting loud music and save lives, it disrupts the livelihood and convenience of majority of riders. So much for green transport. My skateboard isn’t affected by the ban, but it makes me rethink purchasing an electric skateboard which has the potential to make my life a lot easier.
If the roads are gradually given to cyclists instead of cars, we’d have a much cleaner Singapore.

the only useful part of a cycling path is the rougher material used on drains instead of metal which makes someone less likely to slip when cornering

Not to mention the confusion along PCNs... Cycling path, pedestrian path... Sharing paths.. no markings.. different colors... Mixed with concrete pavements... How to implement in June the rules? Car light city? Encourage cycling? Tough...

Why make rules if there is no logical way to obey them. Let's say there's a 6 lane road with a speed limit of 50km/h. You can't expect people to follow it

The decision makers don’t even use such paths. These paths are meant for the peasants.

It was done as an afterthought. If they actually took the time to build proper bike lanes, e-scooter could also use them.

Put some paint on it and call it a cycling path. Non continuous? No distinction with walking path and pedestrians walk anyhow? No problem.
And you wonder why we have a problem with PMD/PMA/Ebike/scooter/bikes. Put pedestrians on the same road as cars driving and see if there are accidents.
It's a infrastructure problem, not a e-scooter one
