Keep to the left and stay alert: First ever code of conduct for pedestrians kicks in

SINGAPORE - Pedestrians should stay off shared paths, stick to footpaths if possible and keep to the left unless they are overtaking another pedestrian.

The updated code of conduct kicked in this month, together with a new rule banning those under 16 from riding electric scooters unsupervised by adults. Another new rule bans device users from using their mobile phones while riding. The code of conduct recommends these key points for pedestrians: stick to footpaths and pedestrian crossings when available beside shared paths, keep left on all paths and stay alert when walking on paths.

However, such issues have been reduced following a ban on e-scooters on footpaths among other preventive measures.
