SINGAPORE – Yuan Ching Road in Taman Jurong is a busy dual carriageway with two lanes in both directions, but residents of the nearby Lake Vista estate say they have little choice but to jaywalk across it to get to a nearby bus stop.
“There are no traffic lights at this junction (of Yuan Ching Road and Hu Ching Road). The nearest crossing is too far,” said a resident, Mr Seow, who declined to give his full name. He was crossing from the bus stop to the Lake Vista estate.
A spokesman for Yuvabharathi International School told ST that about eight members of its teaching and security staff are outside the school grounds almost every day when the students are dismissed, to ensure that they do not jaywalk.
Look at our local propaganda trying to divert attention from the fact that the dead CECA kid 'jaywalked' because her kind always behave in an erratic, haphazard manner in public, possibly encouraged to do that with the 'hands-free' approach to parenting by CECA parents.
I've been to Yuan Ching Road and Taman Jurong many times. There is no problem with the road design there, believe me.
It's the attitude of sinkie drivers who blatantly ignore their responsibility to other road users that us to blame. Near schools, residential areas drivers must slow down.
