Overhead Bridges

[mysticryan]

I would not want to debate on this as its really consider as thread being highjack soley for our debating purpose... I just felt that traffic lights and overhead bridge are build for a reason n we shud utilize them so as not to endanger anybody... auntie or not... old or young... just use the traffic light n overhead bridge for safety reason.

I am just sharing my case n encounter. period.

True that they should use the traffic lights and overhead bridges for safety reasons.
But have we forgotten anything?
We are talking about the elderly people here.
Time has deteriorate their health, which makes some of them hard to climb overhead bridges.
For those using the LRT stations still ok becos there is lift for tem to take.
But how about examples like the overhead bridges besides the church?
After taking a bus from the Punggol MRT station, alighting after the church and crossing the road might be encountered by most people.
For young people, making sure no cars and ten cross is simple. But for elderly is not.
sometimes i really wonder when the overhead bridge next to the church is built, has someone taken for granted that only young people stays around punggol area?
what if in 40 years' time and how are we able to cross?

P.S.  The distance between the traffic lights at both ends seems extremely far apart.
Basically we are relying on those not taking trains to improve train efficiencies, those not taking buses to propose bus arrival time visibility, those not using overhead bridges to design and build bridges...haiz..
IMO, the overhead bridges beside church shld be changed to traffic lights instead.
shorten the road also might help reduce speeding problem along it..
