SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF), Singapore Road Safety Council and Traffic Police Department have launched this year's road courtesy campaign.
Road Courtesy Campaign 2012 seeks to remind all road users to show greater consideration and courteous behaviour, as well as to exercise more tolerance and patience on the roads.
The campaign centres around five key words. The words are: 'Space', 'Respect', 'Patience', 'Foresight', and 'Considerate'.
A
statement by the organisers said the words "call out to road users to
change their behaviour and attitude on the roads for the better".
They
also "remind everyone - whether a motorist, heavy vehicle driver,
motorcyclist, pedal cyclist or pedestrian - that patience, good
etiquette, tolerance and mutual respect are key to safe and
conflict-free use of the roads."
