Recently, Campus Security had received 2 reports of traffic accidents involving student pedestrians.
2. In the first accident on 19 August 2010, a male student had alighted from the internal shuttle bus along Lower Kent Ridge Road and was crossing in front of the bus when he was knocked down by a motor vehicle. As a result, he sustained a fractured ankle and a torn ligament on his right wrist. The second traffic accident reported on 20 August 2010, involved a female student who was knocked down by a motor vehicle whilst crossing Lower Kent Ridge Road. It was established that the student had dashed across the road together with a fellow student. She sustained injuries to her forehead and fractured her right hand.
3. We would like to urge all staff and students to make use of designated pedestrian crossing when crossing roads. Similarly, as part of road safety, whilst driving in and around campus, we urge all drivers to drive with care and observe the traffic rules and regulations and also to be mindful of students crossing the roads especially during the peak hours. Even when using designated crossing, it is always good practice to keep a look out for vehicles even though you may have the right of way.
4. OCS will be working closely with OED in coming out with traffic measures and signage to enhance the safety of pedestrians on campus.
5. Thank you.
