Bandar seri begawan: The Public Works Department is actively implementing measures to enhance cyclist safety by installing signs prohibiting cycling on several major roads across the country. This initiative follows the categorization of certain routes as high-risk areas for cyclists and was highlighted during the "Safety Control for Cyclists on Brunei Darussalam Roads" discussion in the Rampai Pagi Interview Session on April 6th.
According to Radio Television Brunei, the newly installed signs serve as a strict reminder that cycling activities, whether solo or in groups, are not allowed on these risky roads for safety reasons. This prohibition applies even if cyclists are equipped with complete safety gear, unless they have obtained special permission from the National Road Safety Council, MKKJR.
MKKJR has designated several routes in each district where the public can safely engage in recreational cycling activities. In addition to prohibition signs, authorities are installing specific directional signs to help cyclists easily identify these permitted routes. The public can also access cycling regulations by scanning the QR code available on the social media platforms of MKKJR and the Attorney General's Office.
