S'pore traffic police warn against jaywalking: 2 people stopped at 1-way, single-lane road in CBD

The traffic police in Singapore warned pedestrians against jaywalking for their own safety.

In a Facebook post on Oct. 19, the traffic police urged pedestrians to use designated crossings, including zebra crossings, signalised pedestrian crossings, overhead bridges or underpasses.

The post was accompanied by photos of pedestrians who were approached by traffic police officers.

The photos were taken along Serangoon Road in Little India, as well as Park Street in the central business district (CBD).

No jaywalking regardless of road width

The photo in CBD showed an officer and two pedestrians beside a one-way, single-lane road.

Behind them were two signs informing pedestrians that they were not allowed to jaywalk, despite the road being only one-lane-wide.

The post's caption read: "Enforcement action has been taken against pedestrians who jaywalk, Traffic Police will not hesitate to take firm action against offenders."

"Always follow traffic signals and check that it is safe before crossing," it added.

During an anti-jaywalking operation along Serangoon Road near Boon Keng MRT in July 2026, those caught were offered a composition fine of S$50, The Straits Times reported.
