Could it be Partly due to LTA's Fault ?

Remember last month horrified Traffic Accident that A taxi crashed and got stuck along the walkway in front of a pub at Geylang and killed a Vietnamese woman ?

Not long ago another accident happen again near there, I suspect the junction of Geylang Road / Guillemard Rd / Paya Lebar Rd become an accident zone after LTA installed another pedestrian crossing traffic light at Geylang Rd near Lor 39.


My opinion is, this pedestrian crossing traffic light is installed too near to the main Traffic Light at the major junction. A driver travelling along Geyland Rd (say from City Plaza towards Lor 39) may mistakenly see this one as the main junction traffic light, if both are green or both are red then no problem.

The real danger is, when the main junction is Red light and happen that the pedestrian use traffic light is green, driver approaching this direction may mistakenly thought the green light is at the main junction one, thus, accident happen.

Can any LTA Traffic Light engineer or the design team please explain? I wish you can prove me wrong!

Take away all the parking lot in Geylang Rd on the left hand side(rd side). Is very dangerous for car park at the rd side. Cannot see the pedestrain when they crossing. Also slow down the traffic because car waiting for parking, try to park and out.
When the parking take away they Rd will be wider and clear of all blocking view. Vehicle will move faster and less pedestrain will dare to jay walking. Have to use the pedestrain crossing/averhead crossing bridge.
Make it same as orchard rd no parking at road side. LTA dont have the ideas of design the rd and make changes/review every 2~3 year according to the traffic.

Don't count on PAP to admit their mistake. They will end up telling you that after much investigations, the accident was eventually found to be caused by INTENSE SPEED. sound familiar now?.

Of course LTA's fault ..... if not, society's fault ??
