2024年5月8日，新加坡交通部长徐芳达在国会书面答复武吉马督单选区议员穆仁理关于在高速公路上设置摩托车道相关问题。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
穆仁理（武吉马督单选区议员）先生询问交通部长，考虑到自 2022 年以来高速公路上摩托车相关死亡人数持续增加：
(a) 陆交局 (LTA)是否会重新考虑在高速公路上修建摩托车车道的提议？
(b) 陆交局 (LTA)正在考虑采取哪些其他结构性措施来加强和促进摩托车手和后座乘客的道路安全？
徐芳达（交通部长）先生：我们与议员一样，对摩托车相关死亡事件感到担忧。多年来，陆交局 (LTA) 实施了工程措施来提高摩托车手和后座乘客的安全。例如，我们已采用防滑性较高的路面，实施更宽更显眼的车道标记以鼓励摩托车手保持在车道内，并在天桥下建造摩托车防雨棚。
由于土地有限，而且许多高速公路路段都是高架桥、立交桥和隧道，宽度不足以建造额外的摩托车道，因此在高速公路上修建摩托车道是不可行的。
政府仍然致力于提高摩托车手和其他道路使用者的安全，并将继续推行各种举措和措施，以加强道路安全。陆交局、交通警察和新加坡道路安全委员会每年都会开展各种外展活动，以吸引主要利益相关者群体。这些活动包括“新加坡道路安全月”和“新加坡安全骑行运动”，鼓励所有道路使用者尽自己的一份力量，确保道路安全，并鼓励摩托车手养成安全的骑行习惯。
以下是英文质询内容：
Mr Murali Pillai asked the Minister for Transport having regard to the continued increase in motorcycle-related fatalities on expressways since 2022 (a) whether LTA will reconsider the proposal to construct motorcycle lanes on expressways; and (b) what other structural measures is LTA considering to enhance and promote road safety for motorcyclists and pillion riders.
Mr Chee Hong Tat: We share the Member’s concern with motorcycle-related fatalities. Over the years, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has implemented engineering measures to improve the safety of motorcyclists and pillion riders. For example, we started using more skid-resistant road surfaces, implemented wider and more prominent lane markings to encourage motorists to keep in lane, and built motorcycle rain shelters below flyovers.
It is not feasible to construct motorcycle lanes on expressways given our land constraints, and also because many expressway sections are viaducts, flyovers and tunnels which are not wide enough to construct additional motorcycle lanes.
The Government remains committed to improving the safety of motorcyclists, as well as other road users, and will continue to work on various initiatives and measures to enhance road safety. LTA, the Traffic Police and the Singapore Road Safety Council have various outreach activities to engage key stakeholder groups annually. These include the Singapore Road Safety Month and the Singapore Ride Safe Campaign, which encourage all road users to do their part in making our roads safe and motorcyclists to practise safe riding habits.
