Sunday riders at Seletar are getting more than twice the road. The Land Transport Authority will add 6.6km to the Sunday Cycling Lane at Seletar Aerospace Park, taking in Seletar Aerospace Drive and Punggol Barat Drive, under a factsheet released on 28 October. The lane grows from 4.6km to 11.2km, works start in November, and the longer route is due to open by the first quarter of 2027.
From West Camp Road to Punggol Barat
Today the lane runs along West Camp Road on the western edge of Seletar Airport. The extension carries it east along Seletar Aerospace Drive past The Oval and Piccadilly Circus, then north up Punggol Barat Drive towards Pulau Punggol Barat. LTA’s distances count both directions of the road combined. For group riders who use West Camp Road as a Sunday loop, it means a longer, continuous circuit around the aerospace park instead of turning back at the end of one road.
Sunday mornings only
The lane operates from 5am to 11am on Sundays, when only buses and bicycles are allowed in it. It started as a six-month trial on West Camp Road in October 2022, set up to test dedicated road space for larger cycling groups when traffic is light, and was made permanent in April 2023. LTA reports smooth traffic and bus operations since, and broad support from the Singapore Cycling Federation and businesses along Seletar Aerospace Drive.
Reading the markings
The new stretches follow the West Camp Road design. Solid blue lines mark the cycling lane. Near junctions and building entrances, the blue line turns dotted with red transverse bands, and those are the only parts motorists can enter during lane hours to turn in or out. Drivers have to filter in carefully because cyclists and buses can be in the lane.
Rules for riders and drivers
For cyclists, the rules are short:
- Stay inside the cycling lane during operating hours and obey every traffic signal.
- Slow down at the red transverse bands and near bus stops.
- Signal early, and keep a safe gap behind moving vehicles.
Motorists cannot drive or park in the lane, or on the red bands, between 5am and 11am on Sundays. They must keep to the road speed limit, watch their blind spots and never tailgate a cyclist. Outside lane hours, normal cycling rules apply, including the limits on group size.
