SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF),
Singapore Road Safety Council and Traffic Police Department have
launched this year's road courtesy campaign.
Road Courtesy Campaign 2012 seeks to remind all road
users to show greater consideration and courteous behaviour, as
well as to exercise more tolerance and patience on the
roads.
The campaign centres around five key words. The
words are: 'Space', 'Respect', 'Patience', 'Foresight', and
'Considerate'.
A statement by the organisers said the words "call out to road
users to change their behaviour and attitude on the roads for the
better".
They also "remind everyone - whether a motorist, heavy vehicle
driver, motorcyclist, pedal cyclist or pedestrian - that patience,
good etiquette, tolerance and mutual respect are key to safe and
conflict-free use of the roads."
