FTT Vulnerable Road Users

Question 1

What special care must drivers take around pedestrians in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Slow down near pedestrian crossings, give way to pedestrians on crossings, and be extra cautious near schools, markets, and residential areas

Answer

Drivers must always be alert for pedestrians, especially near crossings, schools, bus stops, and residential areas. Pedestrians have the right of way at marked crossings.

Question 2

What rules apply to sharing the road with motorcyclists in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Give motorcyclists adequate space, check blind spots carefully, and be aware they may be harder to see, especially at night

Answer

Motorcyclists are more vulnerable due to their smaller size and lack of protection. Drivers must give them adequate space, check blind spots carefully, and be aware of their presence at junctions.

Question 3

What precautions should drivers take near bus stops in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and watch for pedestrians crossing from behind the bus, and give way to buses signalling to leave the bus stop

Answer

Pedestrians often cross from behind stationary buses. Drivers must slow down near bus stops and, under Singapore traffic rules, give way to buses that signal to re-enter traffic from a bus stop.

Question 4

What are the rules regarding cyclists on Singapore roads?

Accepted Answer

Cyclists have the right to use the road; drivers must maintain a safe distance when overtaking and be aware of cyclists at junctions

Answer

Cyclists are legitimate road users in Singapore. Drivers must give them at least 1.5 metres clearance when overtaking, be cautious at junctions, and check for cyclists before opening car doors.

Question 5

What additional care must drivers exercise near elderly pedestrians in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Be patient and give extra time as elderly pedestrians may move slowly, have reduced hearing or vision, and may not judge traffic speed accurately

Answer

Singapore has an ageing population, and elderly pedestrians may cross more slowly, have impaired hearing or vision, and may not accurately judge vehicle speeds. Drivers must be patient and give extra time.
