SINGAPORE: A total of 761 offences related to personal mobility devices were detected - with 176 devices impounded - in August, LTA said in a Facebook post on Friday .
“Most of the detected offences were registration-related offences, riding of unregistered devices and riding of PMDs on roads,” said LTA.Cases reported through the MyTransport.SG app helped identify hotspots for more targeted enforcement operations that were conducted in several locations including Marina Bay Sands, Buangkok, Changi Village, Sentosa, Choa Chu Kang, Pasir Ris, Hougang, Woodlands, Telok Blangah and Yishun, LTA said.
Over the past few months, LTA announced various initiatives to promote and encourage the safer use of PMDs.It said that it conducted at least 600 Safe Riding Programme sessions over the last three months, while its enforcement team has also expanded to about 200 officers. In April, LTA made it mandatory for all registered UL2272-certified e-scooters to go for inspections. It has since September 2018 adopted the UL2272 safety standard to improve safety against fire and electrical hazards.
The charging in UL2272-certified devices automatically cuts off once the battery is fully charged, thus avoiding overcharging which could lead to a fire.
