2 The joint operation is part of a multi-agency effort to clamp down on errant cyclists and PMD users, and better safeguard public safety. The enforcement operation targeted several offences, including the use of non-compliant PMDs, speeding on public paths, illegal use of PMDs on roads, dangerous and reckless riding on both public paths and roads, and the possession of illegal e-vaporisers.
3 During the operation, a total of 16 offences were detected. The breakdown of offences and actions taken are reflected below:
