Let us hope those kerbside longtitudinal drainage gratings that can trap road bike wheels can be eventually replaced with transverse drainage gratings, so cyclists need not cycle more than half metre from the kerb to avoid them
It helps if speed regulating stripes can stop half a metre from the kerb, so cyclists can have better braking
Low-loaders are 3-metres vehicles, so a 4-metres lane would allow enough room for the cyclist
“Cycle in single file” signages displayed at eye level along popular cycling routes would be a safety good reminder
“Lookout for cyclist” signages likewise displayed at non-traffic-light controlled nctions would be useful
“Dismount to use Pedestrains Crossing” would be helpful, too
It helps to luminates the PCN, especially hazardrous terminations/detours
It also helps to have incline/ramp for pushing bicycle up/down pedestrians overhead bridges
don’t know whether this is the right place for my post but would like to share my incident today.
today at about 6:30pm, I was travelling in my vehicle together with my wife. I was traveling slowly as there were already 2 cars in front of me. Then out of nowwhere, from my right hand side, a cyclist (Ang Mo look a like) stopped in front of me, got off his bicycle and let his bicycle drop in front of my vehicle, and approached me on the driver’s side, I then wound down my vehicle’s windows to see on why he was approaching me. Upon approaching me, he started claiming that I almost knocked him down with my vehicle. He also started hurling vulgarities (both in English and Hokkien) at me. He also mentioned that because of drivers like me, his friend was killed in a road accident about a month ago. I apologised to him and told him that I did not do anything wrong (I really didn’t see any bicycle near my vehicle). But he mentioned that my apology was not sincere enough. He then opened my driver’s side of the door, took a few steps back and challenged me out of my vehicle to settle the matter. But I remained in my vehicle and did not listen to what he had asked me to do. By then a traffic jam had occurred behind my vehicle. A passerby then approached his bicycle and cleared the path blocking the road in order for traffic to be not congested. I then closed my driver’s side of the door and moved off. I then made my way to NPP to lodge a report. I am lodging this report as I feel threatened by his rowdy behaviour towards me in this incident.
At Seah Im Road about 50 meters from the bus terminal on the right hand side there is a large fig tree which is about to fall down. In previous weeks two large parts of the tree came down on the road below. The part of the tree that is still standing looks very unstable. Please have an expert look at this situation. Thanks.
