MOTORCYCLISTS, ELDERLY PEDESTRIANS REMAIN VULNERABLE
SPF said that motorcyclists and elderly pedestrians – those aged 65 and above – continue to be the most vulnerable road users, with motorcyclists “disproportionately represented” in traffic accidents that lead to injuries or deaths.
Motorcycles or pillion riders were involved in 54.8 per cent of all traffic accidents and accounted for 53 per cent of traffic fatalities, even though motorcycles only made up about 15 per cent of Singapore’s total vehicle population in 2025.
Motorcycle accidents increased 6.4 per cent to 4,227 cases in 2025. Similarly, the number of motorcyclists and pillion riders injured increased 7.4 per cent, to 4,844 people in 2025.
