Serious Fatal Accident 5Jan2020 Along Cantonment Road, smg27h.

[halsey02]

Why are Maseratis and other high powered cars allowed on the streets in the first place? Singapore is such a small island a Kia Picanto will serve the needs of most families. Large families can buy two Picantos.

In addition all cars should be limited to 60kph max. There is absolutely no need to go any faster on that tiny island.

There speed limits of 40km/hr etc...you are right on why fast cars are allowed on a very tiny space like Singapore.

cantonment road? isn't this the police hq?

 

[halsey02]

It's like blaming the victim if she gets raped. She should have dressed properly.

That is what they do, right?. The PMD rider can't use the sidewalk, now have to use the road...more death to PMD riders soon, from vehicle accidents. So, now what?, ban the PMD completely or let the clever PAP come out with new laws or rules.

Oslo saw zero pedestrian and cyclist deaths in 2019. Here’s how the city did it.

Reducing the number of cars reduced the number of traffic fatalities

Imagine a city the size of Washington D.C. going an entire year without any pedestrians or cyclists being killed on its streets. That’s exactly what happened in Oslo, where officials reported this week that zero pedestrian or cyclist fatalities occurred on the city’s roads in 2019.

City data for the Norwegian capital, which has a population of about 673,000, show a dramatic reduction in traffic fatalities, from 41 deaths in 1975 to a single roadway death last year. One adult man was killed in 2019 when his vehicle struck a fence.

According to a story in the Norwegian paper Aftenposten, safety advocates are directly attributing the virtual elimination of roadway deaths to recent initiatives which have allowed fewer cars into the city’s center.

Over the last five years, the city has taken dramatic steps to reduce vehicular traffic in its downtown, including replacing nearly all on-street parking with bike lanes and sidewalks. Major streets have been closed to cars, and congestion pricing raised the fee to drive into the city center, with the goal of making most of downtown car-free by 2019.

Oslo has not only reduced the number of places where it is possible to drive, the city has also lowered the speed limit, which significantly contributes to a reduction in deaths, said Christoffer Solstad Steen of Trygg Trafikk, a national road safety organization, in an interview with Aftenposten.

Perhaps most remarkably, no children under 15 died in roadway crashes anywhere in the country of Norway during 2019, which has a population of about 5.3 million. In the U.S., car crashes are the leading cause of death for children—about 4,000 children are killed each year in traffic collisions.

One effort cited by Steen that may have contributed to the drop in child deaths are the new “heart zones” drawn around Oslo’s schools, where officials are making physical changes to streets to protect students walking and biking to school, including closing streets to cars during school hours.

Oslo’s news comes as several U.S. cities are reckoning with 2019 figures that show a troubling increase in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco all had more overall traffic deaths in 2019 than in 2018.

New York City’s increase in traffic deaths in 2019 was mostly due to an increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths. A sweeping plan to add more protected bike lanes as well as more dedicated pedestrian space was approved in late 2019.

In Los Angeles, where more than 239 people were killed on roadways in 2019, the city not only recorded an increase in overall traffic deaths this year, but also marked another year of skyrocketing pedestrian deaths—the number of people killed while on foot has increased 69 percent in five years.

San Francisco exceeded its 2018 fatality count in August of 2019, after several high-profile cyclist deaths prompted city leaders to implement a “quick-build” program that fast-tracked safety improvements.

Some U.S. cities saw glimmers of success in 2019. Washington D.C., where advocates organized a series of major rallies over the last year demanding infrastructural changes to streets, saw the first decline in roadway deaths since 2015. Chicago also saw lower traffic deaths in 2019 than in 2018.

Over the next decade, U.S. cities will start to stare down looming deadlines for their Vision Zero initiatives to eliminate traffic deaths—about 50 cities have set goals to reach zero in the next ten years. Although European cities have seen great success in reducing fatalities, results in the U.S. have been mixed, with few cities achieving sustained reductions year after year.

But some U.S. cities are now experimenting with car-free zones that somewhat mirror Oslo’s policies. New York City’s kicked cars off its hugely successful 14th Street busway and will be implementing congestion pricing to charge a fee for cars to enter Manhattan by the end of the year. Starting January 29, San Francisco’s Market Street, one of its busiest thoroughfares, will be mostly off-limits to private cars.

Progress was also uneven for Oslo in the early years after setting its own Vision Zero goal. But it’s Oslo’s car-free zones that have made the difference, Steen told Aftenposten, because overall roadway deaths haven’t reduced across Norway in recent years the way Oslo’s have plummeted.

However, Oslo hasn’t declared victory for Vision Zero just yet. City officials say that hitting the goal would mean zero roadway injuries—not just zero deaths.

“While we are making great progress, there is still a way to go to consistently keep deaths at zero for all road users,” Anders Hartmann, who works on walking and biking policy for Oslo, said on Twitter.

Easy to do when everyone is equally poor. Aiya we are victims of our own success, thanks to PAP.

All about income for gahmen....ARF is payable is based on OMV. The higher the OMV, the more the gahmen collects.

Also do not forget...the car insurance premium is based on all the "intangible' costs added to the actual cost of the car eg COE, OMV, ARF and even the dealers' margins.

Why need to pay premium on a car that has an inflated "market" value when the replacement spare parts are only at actual manufacturer's price?

no way!

When u r drunk lots of nasty n fatal incidents can happen to u.

exactly right! so that's why we must sendiri tahan.

if not must ban all fat in meat because fatal heart attacks come from eating too much rich food. don't laugh. there are countries that do that.

Frankly i telan draft beer. Tak sedap sangkat lah. But people can actually telan sampai mabok. Unable to control. Aneh (weird) betul ya

As for meat. We are created n given a set of teeths where we can tear n chew meat. Unlike cow or goat. So can takein moderation.

magic word in bold!!

draft beer yang pertama sahaja yang sedap. selepas tu kurang sedap. Kalau minum sampai empat atau lima tak sedap lagi.

honestly yang itu telan sampai mabuk bukan aneh, simply otak tak betul.

the root of all addiction is psychological. doesn't matter what it is. girls, drugs, alcohol, even work. otak tak betul.

Hdb flats where got management? It’s the fucking town councils.
Have you been to pinnacle? Whole place looks like an US inner city slum housing. The carpark is poorly lit and the everywhere somehow looks dark and feels very dirty. Even on a sunny day outside but inside feeling like a modern
kowloon walled city
Its same like those new hdb 2 room flat blocks....they might be relatively new but somehow its vibe is very slum like.....cramped and dirty corridors and surrounding.....I think it has to do with the residents. Very depressing place reminds me of hk Chungking mansion.

Pinnacle duxton has almost nothing to shout about except for its location.
Which may not be a good thing for some as it a china man PR clustered place.
U drive in get off u will feel like a china slump.

The driver probably saved the PAP govt some money for pre-election bribery. He should be acquitted and given an award by President Diaperhead.

a) Yellow car another ferrari? Maserati?
b) i did not see any somalis or iraqis in the given oslo pictures.

 

[cocobobo]

If the Maserati driver was indeed drunk and driving against the flow of traffic, you are indeed a moron.

I'm smart enough to know high ses people already got their stories on standby through their lawyers. Fella will probably walk away with minimum charge and the yellow car driver will go down.

Yes moron, his standby story is that he was drunk and driving against the flow of traffic.
