Road Courtesy
Campaign widened to include pedestrians and
cyclists
SINGAPORE: It is not just the courteous motorist - but the
courteous road user who is the target of this year's Road
Courtesy Campaign.
Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcylists are road users too, and have
a role in making that road journey a more pleasant one for
all.
So this year's campaign, launched by Mayor of South East Community
Development Council Dr Amy Khor, is aimed at them as well, says the
Singapore Police Force.
During the nine month campaign which lasts until March 2008, road
users who are spotted performing courteous acts like signalling
early, giving way to other road users and waving to say thanks on
the road, will get a goody bag.
The spotters include Traffic Police patrol officers, Comfort taxi
drivers and members of the Singapore Bike Forum.
For example - forty motorists were spotted giving way to emergency
vehicles during last year's campaign. - CNA/yy
