who's paying...


when people lose their lives in road accidents, we need to ask what happened: driver at fault? pedestrian at fault? road design at fault and what else?

if people choose to jay-walk, they have to face the risks and consequences..... e.g. cross a minefield carelessly and one could be blown to bits......

so what can be done to improve the situation at Upper Thomson Road....? add traffic lights? add overhead bridge? add this add that? all of these cost money and some can lead to traffic congestion......

hear this: someone even suggested to have escalators for one particular overheard bridge near her place of worship......... so is she going to pay for it?

let's be realistic.... we cannot have an overhead bridge or traffic lights every 100 or 200 m....... people who wish to cross to the other hand have a choice: use the existing bridge or traffic lights.... if they find the distance an obstacle, they can cross the road carefully....

i wonder what can LTA do....... install a speed camera to force cars to slow down..??? i dun think so.....
