Singapore recorded over 5,100 injuries or fatalities on its roads during the first half of 2026, marking a 3.6% increase compared to the same period in 2025, according to the Singapore Police Force's (SPF) Mid-Year Road Traffic 2026 report. Despite a 23.1% decrease in fatal accidents, with only 60 incidents in 1H 2026, the overall traffic situation remained concerning.
The most vulnerable road user groups, including motorcyclists, pillion riders, and elderly pedestrians, continue to be disproportionately affected by traffic fatalities. Commander of the Traffic Police SAC Serene Chiu emphasized the need for more efforts to improve road safety, stating that vulnerable road users remain over-represented in traffic fatalities.
The SPF reported a 2.7% increase in traffic accidents involving injuries and fatalities, with a total of 3,929 incidents in 1H 2026.
