Legislature passes law to improve pedestrian safety on sidewalks
-
The Legislative Yuan has passed new rules for pedestrian safety. Under the new legislation, local can write fines of up to NT$150,000 if they find obstacles to pedestrian traffic on sidewalks. These obstacles might include signage, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and transformer boxes.
According to the new law, if there’s a public utility on a sidewalk, the local government must work with the competent authority to remove it. The same goes for privately owned installations such as signs. Those who fail to make improvements within a set time period will face a fine between NT$30,000 and NT$150,000.
