Dangerous siah

 

The last part of the clip shows the windscreen cracked from the impact

they serve the same purpose as our carpark gantries just that they come from another direction - a direction which people can't see. bad idea in my opinion.

Seen this in the UK a couple of years ago. This design is much stronger than the carpark gantry type. The design was so 'good' that it gained the approval of many gov agencies around the world, singapore included, as one of the best way to stop a car from crashing into important buildings/installation.

I know there are some just after the check point towards Jurong Island.

if i'm not wrong, the checkpoint at woodlands also has it. Its called Bollards... something like that. Spike strips are called Cat claws.

Maintenence can be a problem. Have to dug up the road when it's spoiled? Water drainage must also be good as water will seep in through the pole gaps.

[Shull]

that's bus lane for them..

 

no need wardens taking pics and sending you letter..just some simple bollard to whack your car..

No need summon , the damage to the car enough for the people to learn their lesson.
