But some mountain bikers, hikers ignore them and venture into restricted areas
A shock of red and yellow amid leafy foliage, bearing an ominous skull and crossbones sign and an unmistakable message: This is a live-firing area. Keep clear.
Some mountain bikers and hikers choose to ignore these signs, displayed prominently along the edge of Chestnut Nature Park, and venture into restricted areas.
On June 15, a man was hit in the back by a bullet slug while cycling with his friends in a restricted area in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR), between the Upper Seletar and Upper Peirce reservoirs. The area was gazetted for Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) live-firing.
At the time, the SAF was conducting an exercise at its Nee Soon Range, about 2.3km from the site where the man was injured.
The Woodcutter's Trail is a popular cycling route in the CCNR, known for its steep slopes and winding track. It is in a restricted area closed off to the public.
