2024年5月8日，新加坡交通部長徐芳達在國會書面答覆武吉馬督單選區議員穆仁理關於在高速公路上設置摩托車道相關問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
穆仁理（武吉馬督單選區議員）先生詢問交通部長，考慮到自 2022 年以來高速公路上摩托車相關死亡人數持續增加：
(a) 陸交局 (LTA)是否會重新考慮在高速公路上修建摩托車車道的提議？
(b) 陸交局 (LTA)正在考慮採取哪些其他結構性措施來加強和促進摩托車手和后座乘客的道路安全？
徐芳達（交通部長）先生：我們與議員一樣，對摩托車相關死亡事件感到擔憂。多年來，陸交局 (LTA) 實施了工程措施來提高摩托車手和后座乘客的安全。例如，我們已採用防滑性較高的路面，實施更寬更顯眼的車道標記以鼓勵摩托車手保持在車道內，並在天橋下建造摩托車防雨棚。
由於土地有限，而且許多高速公路路段都是高架橋、立交橋和隧道，寬度不足以建造額外的摩托車道，因此在高速公路上修建摩托車道是不可行的。
政府仍然致力於提高摩托車手和其他道路使用者的安全，並將繼續推行各種舉措和措施，以加強道路安全。陸交局、交通警察和新加坡道路安全委員會每年都會開展各種外展活動，以吸引主要利益相關者群體。這些活動包括「新加坡道路安全月」和「新加坡安全騎行運動」，鼓勵所有道路使用者儘自己的一份力量，確保道路安全，並鼓勵摩托車手養成安全的騎行習慣。
以下是英文質詢內容：
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.
