... SIGNS on popular cycling routes

Also, signs are more economical to put up than proper bike lanes.
May I suggest other places to put up these magical signs, like the entire Hougang Ave 3 and Jalan Eunos stretch and the Katong area. While cycling enthusiasts may not use those roads for training, there is the other kind of cycling person called the foreign worker and I feel they need protection too. They are not training or enthused about cycling in itself, but just interested in getting from point A to point B safely.
