Just laugh at the number lah, anyway all these years, its been a joke.

its like saying that you only eat plain rice, drink tap water, wear t shirt and shorts and slippers, no handphone, no car for sure, no home either, you wont be affected becos inflation is 2% only.    
 

come i clap for Singaporeans. Good luck my friends, good luck

 

That is so true, the numbers are simply not reflective of what I am seeing and paying. 

They reported 2% while the whole world is running at 4-5%, the magical NEER bullet is truly magical.  Lol.

Some things noticed today. 

Central divider use to be very small.. less than 30cm type.

Now become so big. Narrowing the road. 

And notice middle right... the curb jut out suddenly.

Money well spent?

This looks like Whampoa Dr. It is likely Silver Zone.

My estate also the same.

Curb jut out is getting common. Likely to slow down cars.

In general, i would say our roads are quite well planned except fro some older ones where the padestrian path is also for planting trees and refuse bins and somehow they think handicap wheel chair can still roll on it. Then cyclists also want to use it too.  Recently, notice NPark has this great idea of planting flowering plant without maintenance. In a couple of months, weeds grow taller than the flower blocking traffic and pedestrian view when emerging behind these plants.  Whose idea and how much did they spent? Any audit done?

I think it's gonna cause cars to mount curb instead at night or periods of low visibility. 

The lorries delivering stuff to the coffee shops and neighbourhood stalls gonna luuurrrvvvve it I'm sure.

I like it more than speed-bumps and raised pedestrian crossing which does little for car reliability and reducing our carbon footprint.

At least with this kind of layout, with good dampers and a strut brace etc. no need to slow down 😀 So long as the talent inside matches the talent of the outside.

No maintenance

Or

No labour to maintain.

My estate lawn was not maintained for a long time.

Talking about red lights. It is green amber then red. I can understand to regulate the traffic each junction must have different timing or even smart timing. So the green or the red duration can varies to suit the traffic flow. However, what I fail to understand is, why from amber to red, there is a different in timing. Some change from amber to red almost immediately. Don't you allow reaction?

Even they give reaction like also less than 5 sec and it change from amber to red. Many silly and stupid traffic lights on the road lo.

Such road design should be silver zone. They make the road become narrower and some curb in some curb out, so called to make the cars slow down and safer for pedestrian. But find quite silly la, and it like becoming more unsafe for cars. Lol.

Once upon a time, they do have usual 1 staff sweeping and clearing the drains. Then technology got them a auto road sweeping machine that push the leaves away. Now I also don't see them but the grass cutters will use a blower to blow them all over the place to spread them out' so that it is not so obvious. 

Drains don't belong to anyone now. Was it PUB or NEA or auto clean? Just stop your car at any traffic junctions and look down, if you find plastic bottles, plastic bag of left over food, cans, etc. Chances are they are there for a while. Where did they came from? Definitely not from homes kilometers away. This is where we are heading after being a 'clean city' before.
