PMD seen ‘at high speeds’ in KPE tunnel, 100 other non-compliant devices seized in LTA operations
More than 300 offences were spotted in LTA operations targeting errant cyclists and device users.
A personal mobility device (PMD) caught speeding in Singapore's KPE tunnel in July has been seized by authorities. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the seizure on August 13, following an incident on July 13. Dashcam footage posted by the SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) YouTube channel shows two individuals riding the PMD, overtaking cars in the expressway tunnel.
The PMD navigates a bend, with a flash of light indicating a speed camera activation, before approaching the south-bound Airport Road exit. Speed cameras are present in the KPE tunnel, with expressway speed limits typically set at 80km/h, dropping to 70km/h in some areas. Motorized PMDs are limited to a maximum speed of 25km/h and must display an LTA registration mark.
The video, which has garnered over 24,000 views and 240 comments, shows the PMD lacking a visible license plate, a common violation under LTA regulations. In separate enforcement actions, the LTA seized 100 non-compliant devices and detected 310 offenses. The public can report errant users of active mobility devices via go.gov.sg/report-am.
