What the scheme does
Traffic Police introduced the Road Safety Champions scheme in 2010 to identify and train community members who can act as partners in raising awareness of road safety and advocating safe road use. Champions are described as promoting safety among road users and within their families, friendship groups and workplaces (SPF, Road Safety Champions).
Traffic Police says it trains Champions in road safety and public speaking and provides road-safety collateral for their outreach (SPF, Road Safety Champions).
Participation and scale
SPF's page, last updated 23 July 2026, reported about 400 Champions to date, including people from organisations such as the People's Association, SMRT, SBS Transit and Harley-Davidson Singapore. Organisations interested in participating may write to Traffic Police at [email protected] (SPF, Road Safety Champions).
Road Users on Watch
SPF launched Road Users on Watch on 7 March 2026 as an evolution of Cyclists on Watch, expanding its road-safety community engagement to pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. SPF describes its aims as improving mutual respect and shared responsibility, helping participants understand how road users interact, and improving road etiquette through practical safety education and community programmes (SPF, Launch of “Road Users on Watch” Initiative; SPF, Community Watch Scheme).
The initiative is part of SPF’s Community Watch Scheme. SPF invites road users to sign up; the scheme page describes the initiative as education and mutual accommodation among road users (SPF, Community Watch Scheme).
Vehicles on Watch
Vehicles on Watch is another SPF Community Watch interest group. SPF says it encourages partnership between Police and car owners with in-vehicle cameras; participants agree to provide camera footage to assist Police investigations when needed (SPF, Community Watch Scheme).
Singapore Road Safety Month 2026
Traffic Police and the Singapore Road Safety Council launched Singapore Road Safety Month 2026 on 30 May under the theme “Road Safety Begins with Us”. The month-long campaign aimed to raise awareness of shared responsibility for safer roads, strengthen education on safer behaviour, and encourage a more responsible road culture, with particular attention to elderly pedestrians and motorcyclists (SPF, Singapore Road Safety Month 2026 launch).
SPF said its community outreach would include neighbourhood walks and road-safety storytelling with schools for preschoolers and young children, plus coffee sessions and neighbourhood walks with elderly residents to help them identify safer routes. The campaign also included a two-day community exhibition at Our Tampines Hub on 30 and 31 May 2026 and an inaugural road-safety carnival for migrant workers scheduled for 14 June 2026 (SPF, Singapore Road Safety Month 2026 launch).
Singapore Traffic Games and school outreach
The Singapore Traffic Games is an annual inter-school event that teaches primary-school children road-safety habits through practical sessions. Participants practise different road-user roles, including pedestrians, cyclists and go-kart drivers. SPF reported that 300 students from 21 primary schools took part in the 2025 grand finals at the Road Safety Community Park on 7 November 2025 (SPF, Singapore Traffic Games 2025; SPF, Annual Road Traffic Situation 2025, p. 7).
SPF's current Games page describes a school preliminary-round stage leading to the Grand Finale. At the Road Safety Community Park, children take part as pedestrians, cyclists and go-kart drivers in a miniature simulated city (SPF, Singapore Traffic Games).
SPF's 2025 report also records that Traffic Police introduced Road Safety Corners and interactive game consoles during school visits and community events to reinforce safe-crossing habits. These are educational activities; the cited pages do not describe them as driver-licensing or examination requirements (SPF, Annual Road Traffic Situation 2025, p. 7).
Singapore Road Safety Award
SPF's heavy-vehicle road-safety page describes the Singapore Road Safety Award (SRSA) as an annual award recognising organisations that have significantly contributed to promoting road safety and gracious road use within their companies. The page says that in 2019 the award had two categories: Company Award and Safe Driver Award. Those are the categories the page reports for 2019, not confirmation of the current award structure (SPF, Road Safety Tips for Heavy Vehicle Drivers).
Coverage debt
The SPF page does not set out individual eligibility or selection criteria, a detailed training curriculum, a time commitment, or a detailed list of Champion duties. Interested organisations should use SPF's published enquiry contact for current participation details (SPF, Road Safety Champions).
The Community Watch Scheme page does not describe how Vehicles on Watch footage is requested or submitted, or state a retention period (SPF, Community Watch Scheme).
SPF's heavy-vehicle page does not give current SRSA categories, eligibility, nomination steps or award details; it points readers to the Singapore Road Safety Council for more information. The 2019 categories above should not be treated as current without confirmation.
