The Land Transport Authority (LTA) impounded 78 non-compliant Active Mobility Devices (AMD) in an islandwide enforcement operation in public areas and housing estates from May 19 to May 23. In a Facebook post on Friday, the authority said this is part of ongoing efforts to address and prevent the rising number of fire incidents involving non-compliant Power-Assisted Bicycles (PABs) and Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) in residential areas. AMDs include PABs, PMDs, and personal mobility aids. Under the law, LTA can impound non-compliant PABs from any location, and non-compliant PMDs on public paths such as HDB common corridors and stairwells. The authority said it will issue notices to owners of these registered AMDs which were seized. It added that PABs and e-scooters must be registered with it, and owners of unregistered devices can contact LTA for verification and investigation. Read more
