Weekend sting: 14 PMDs seized by LTA
In a Facebook post on Sunday (June 9), LTA said that 70 personnel — including police officers — took part in operations in Ang Mo Kio, Sengkang and Tampines.
SINGAPORE — The Land Transport Authority (LTA) seized a total of 14 personal mobility devices (PMDs) in its enforcement efforts over the weekend.
In a Facebook post on Sunday (June 9), LTA said that 70 personnel — including police officers — took part in operations in Ang Mo Kio, Sengkang and Tampines.
“Together, they detected 23 offences and seized 14 devices,” said LTA.
Two riders — one of whom was on a unicycle — were caught travelling at 16kmh on a footpath when the speed limit is 10kmh.
The speed limit on footpaths is 10kmh, and 25kmh on shared paths.
LTA added that other offences include riding non-compliant PMDs, using PMDs on roads, failing to stop when they were required to do so, and displaying a false identification mark on an e-scooter.
On Saturday, LTA said that its officers impounded an Iron-Man-inspired PMD that weighed nearly 83kg — more than four times the permissible limit — earlier in the week.
The rider was caught with the non-compliant device near Raffles Place by LTA’s Active Mobility Enforcement Officers during one of their regular patrols.
