They have created a Facebook Page to engage readers and road users.<\/p>\n

If you have something to comment on our road culture, do head over there to voice it. My opinion is that for those who want to get the authority to listen to the public on e-Scooters<\/a> or PEV<\/a>s, this is the chance.<\/p>\n

A New Movement for Better Road Culture<\/h2>\n

\u201dUse Your RoadSense\u201d movement aims to ignite\u00a0<\/em>
\nconversations and collaborations between Traffic Police and the public<\/em><\/p>\n

Traffic Police held a multi-partner, multi-disciplinary dialogue on 7 April 2015, as part of their new road safety initiative \u2013 the\u00a0Use Your RoadSense\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>movement. This movement is part of the larger Safer Roads Singapore action plan first announced in 2013 to guide the efforts of Traffic Police, its partners and the community in keeping our roads safe.<\/p>\n

2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0Use Your RoadSense\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>movement is a fresh approach to educate and engage users on road safety in Singapore. Given the rapid changes and developments on Singapore\u2019s roads, there is a need to facilitate understanding between the diverse road user groups \u2013 pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Traffic Police will be adopting an active engagement and co-creation approach to crafting road safety initiatives with the public. Through this movement, Traffic Police hopes to hold many conversations with the various road user groups to understand their road safety concerns and hear their ideas on how a culture of safer road use can be cultivated in Singapore.<\/p>\n

3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The first of these many conversations was the dialogue session. Traffic Police gathered a panel of field experts who looked at how direct and indirect factors such as road planning, road technology, socio-culture and human psychology affect road attitudes and behaviour.<\/p>\n

4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Topics discussed included the development of road planning and traffic systems and its influence on driver traits; current and upcoming road technology that could help raise users\u2019 awareness while on the roads; financial and cultural considerations that affect driving attitudes; and human characteristics and what impacts decision-making on the roads.<\/p>\n

5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant Commissioner Sam Tee, Commander Traffic Police, said, \u201cTraffic Police needs to take a larger, holistic view of our traffic road policing, in view of the changing road environment today. Users are now more diverse and come from different backgrounds and grew up in different times. Road and car technologies are also affecting our attitudes on the roads. We are always connected and are faced with more distractions.<\/p>\n

6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We may have one of the safest road networks in the region but we can do more to cultivate good road behaviour and discipline. Road safety is not just about enforcements. We need to build a culture of self-discipline, care and empathy on our roads. We hope this movement provides the foundation for it. As we adopt a multi-perspective approach to road safety, we call upon all individuals, organisations and companies to work together on this shared initiative to develop a new road culture for Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n

7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Traffic Police invites road users to take part in the conversation online, at the\u00a0Use Your RoadSense Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 share what having, or not having #RoadSense is, and support the movement by getting others around you involved.
