Not even Lee Kuan Yew can solve this National Problem

[Force 136]

In Singapore, it seems that anything goes for those on bicycles..... esp those from countries with 5000 years of history.....

For starters, they are free here to ride on both the pavement and the road, whatever strikes their fancy.

They are true kings of the road.

Held up by slow-coach pedestrians on the walkways? Never fear, just ring the bell or whistle loudly and the crowds part automatically like the Red Sea.

Hassled on the road by cars? Don't worry, motorists are now being told to keep a distance of 1.5m when overtaking bicycles. This means that they actually have to change lanes to do so. If traffic is heavy and they can't, they will just have to follow the cyclist's pace.

If a cyclist foreign or otherwise, here feels irritated or unnerved by motorists behind him breathing down his neck, they can always cycle against the flow of traffic. It seems perfectly allowed in Singapore...... (maybe in NZ too? considering the quality of Singkie bicyclists taking refuge there.....)

Cyclists aren't a problem. They are the solution to all the ills that have befallen the world as a result of the proliferation of motorised transport.

Ban cycling on roads meant for motorised vehicles. Problem solved.

LTA should start register and charge every bicycle on road... Make those who ride pay for space and usage... It's only Fair!

That is why the solution is to ride on the pavements but others also cry foul...then what?????

Cyclists are already paying for the use of the roads as road building and maintenance comes from the general tax take which everyone contributes to. The LTA actually issued a statement regarding this issue a couple of years ago.

The roads aren't just meant for motorised vehicles. They are meant for all vehicles and that includes bicycles, trishaws, cattle and horses except where they are specifically forbidden.

Nobody will be able to solve this. The problem, or should I say situation (it's only a problem if one views it as one), is crowdedness in a small piece of land. What can be done? Physically - reclamation of land, which has already been done. So what else? Nothin, 'cept accepting it and getting used to it like tolerance, patience, understanding, giving way... blah blah. All residents here will have to share the use of land. There is no other way.

Cheers!

How about sharing land and space of many golf courses and clubs?

 

[greenies]

If we are civic minded and law abiding citizens like in1970-90's era, and with strict law enforcement, most problems could be solved.
I want to see this cyclist in photo to be fine immediately as he did not dismount from his bicycle on zebra crossing.
