Be extra cautious on the road
Since Singapore is small and we have to share our roads with different users like pedestrians and cyclists, we should all be extra cautious especially when driving.
One too many cyclists have been involved in accidents, sometimes fatal ones.
Let’s make our roads a safer place for everyone and practise patience and caution when using them.
