5. The driver of every vehicle approaching a pedestrian crossing must proceed only at such speed as will enable him to stop his vehicle BEFORE reaching the crossing.

For example, it would be very difficult for elderly cyclist, those with kids as pillion and loads to dismount and vehicle drivers would probably have to wait even longer if the cyclist/ PMD users dismount and push their PMD across the road. PMDs however, should also exercise safety first and be prepared to stop to avoid any collision. LTA should also install traffic cameras at zebra crossings where vehicles tend to approach at fast speed and summons drivers for speeding and where the pedestrian or PMD requests for footage of any vehicle failing to stop for them to cross, for the purpose of imposing minimum 6 demerit points , $360 fine or higher (dangerous driving) for drivers who fail to slow down and stop for foot/ shared path users crossing:

PMD are too fast for motorist to see them clearly.

There are a lot of things for drivers to check.

One moment, they see all is clear and when turning, a PMD appears out of nowhere.

PMD max speed is 25kph. If any motorist is unsure if there is a PMD approaching (e.g. due to bushes, construction debris, rubbish, bright sunlight etc obstructing his view, then he should approach slowly and also stop before stop line to check clear of approaching PMD/ pedestrians before proceeding forwards. This is because as motorist, it is his duty to ensure that there are no PMD or pedestrians about to cross the zebra crossing before proceeding forwards. (If he is kind, he should also physically remove the garbage or tell LTA to trim the bushes obstructing his view).

Same as slip road joining main road at stop line, all motorist must stop without fail, check clear, then move forwards. Bicycle can travel at 50kph on main road and all slip road traffic must give way as well.


E.g,:
Cars wanting to cross this Jx must all stop BEFORE stop line, check for on coming traffic and only proceed forward if the coast is clear.

Same analogy applies at slip road as it does at zebra crossings, simply because there is a prominent stop line in both cases.

As usual, in china, you die your own business.
In mat yo yo land, any accident involving motorcycles, the other motorcyclist will stop and help,

 

[AhMeng]

the other motorcyclist will stop and help,

After helping, they rob you too! lol

If ginfreely is the rider, she will be raped too. Fingered and fucked

In China, if you somehow survive the crash they will make sure you die, so you can't claim compensation.

Seriously, most of them should just walk or take the fucking bus. Bloody morons.

I was in Vietnam recently. It's chaos on the roads. But mostly organised chaos because the Viets know how to ride and maneuver. It's the bloody tourists who rent bikes and fuck everything up.

You should not stopped when you cross the road. The bikes will avoid you automatically. That's the rule when you are in HCMC. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes your norm. But never try this method in Sinkieland

Yes correct. Even when crossing at zebra crossing and at red-light crossing in your favour, just walk slowly and maintain the pace. You should be alright.

 

[mojito]

Cannot even see how to slow down? Pmd zipping around footpaths at 50km/h

That is how they beat China and America!

How about common sense? Pmd reach zeebra crossing no slow down just zoom expect people see you? That why no self driving cars yet. Too many variables.

 

[rushifa666]

Pmd run over. Problem solved overnight

 

[sweetiepie]

KNN logically should be Motorist should slow down and get ready to stop at every zebra crossing but first car proceed to move while 2nd car stop becas when first car stop immediately it is wasting time as the pedestrian/pmd still haven't cross KNN

 

[eatshitndie]

no problem to stop for this long legged lady. sinkie cyclists with short legs will have a problem to balance their bikes on wheels unless they rest their perineums on the frame. yet for some truly short legged sinkies that also poses a problem as their perineums hang in the balance while both legs do a see saw.
