Is there a win-win situation between cyclists and pedestrians?

There has been an endless number of reports and feedback in relation to going car-lite, centring around cyclists and e-scooterists who are taking up precious space on our limited public roads.

There have also been complaints about some of these vehicles having no proper registration, and the lack of manpower to patrol the areas to keep personal mobility device users in check.

In order to minimise unpleasant situations, riders need to exercise utmost consideration, and pedestrians have to exercise extra tolerance.

Let us all work towards a more gracious society.
