Police & LTA officers caught 17 cyclists & 1 PMD user at night at West Coast Highway & Jalan Anak Bukit

On August 14, 2026, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) conducted a joint enforcement operation near Jalan Anak Bukit and West Coast Highway. The operation resulted in the arrest of 17 cyclists and one personal mobility device (PMD) user for various infractions. Throughout the operation, a total of 26 offenses were identified.

The SPF reported that traffic police (TP) and LTA officers engaged with the cyclists and PMD users to educate them on cycling and PMD regulations and guidelines. One fixed-gear bicycle was seized due to the rider operating it without a functional handbrake. Additionally, one non-compliant and unregistered PMD was confiscated from a rider who was using it on a public path.

Fifteen individuals were summoned for cycling on a road without displaying the necessary white light in the front and/or red light or red reflector at the rear during nighttime. Ten individuals were summoned for riding a bicycle without wearing a protective helmet. The authorities emphasized that they take a serious stance against such offenses that endanger public safety and violate the law.

Cyclists and PMD users are strongly urged to adhere to all regulations and practice safe riding habits, according to the release from the SPF.
