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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
However, fatal accidents involving motorcyclists fell by 9.2 per cent to 79 cases in 2025, with motorcyclist and pillion rider fatalities decreasing 7.1 per cent to 79 people the same year.<\/p>\n
The police also said that elderly pedestrians “continue to be a significant concern” and are overrepresented in pedestrian fatalities.<\/p>\n
The elderly population made up 12.9 per cent of the overall Singapore population in 2025, but was involved in 75 per cent of all fatal traffic accidents involving pedestrians and accounted for 75 per cent of pedestrian fatalities.<\/p>\n
The number of traffic accidents involving elderly pedestrians increased 21.7 per cent to 247 cases in 2025, while the number of such fatal accidents rose “significantly” by 145.5 per cent to 27 cases in 2025.<\/p>\n
The number of injured elderly pedestrians increased by 15 per cent to 222 people in 2025.<\/p>\n
