Improving roads in Singapore should focus on enhancing both safety and efficiency. Better road designs, clearer signages, and more effective traffic management would definitely help reduce congestion. We could also benefit from better maintenance to prevent potholes and uneven surfaces that can lead to accidents. Anyone here have suggestions on specific areas that need urgent attention or examples of successful road improvements elsewhere.

What you said is what LTA do the other way round. The road design always bad, traffic management help to increase congestion and never maintain their roads at all or anyhow patch the road surface to make your car ride more bumpy.

Today was driving around SG to meet customers for whole day as my bosses are in town. 

1st thing in morning already late 15 mins when I picked them up at hotel. I planned for a 45mins drive became 1hr.

Then quite a lot of roads have road diversion. 

Not all diversion have any road works at all. Dunno WTF divert for what... Maybe waiting for contractor to arrive then to patch up those pot holes...

Maybe just to show doing repair work...

They implemented silver zone also reduced speed, and now they implemented this friendly streets also reduced speed?  Lol.

Anyway, this is another brilliant idea from LTA scholars?

Noadays when you drive on the road, the moment you drive out from your carpark lot can start to vomit blood and blood pressure go up, due to many idiots drivers on the road, c*ock pedestrians on the road and tons of road diversion don't know for what. Lol.

Difficult to educate pedestrians don't anyhow jaywalk, no matter simi sai special zone they have implemented, pedestrians still default anyhow jaywalk and without looking before they jaywalk.

Like i always see people when walking along a pathway along a road, then when they reached a road for cars to turn into carpark, 99.9% pedestrians never turn their head to check before stepping out, all simply just like that walk across. And i always amazed why these people never get knock down by cars?

They have right of way......

Driver gets done for hitting the pedestrian no matter the cause, because driver should know better and is in charge of dangerous equipment. 

Problem is, divers are fekin' stupid also, so it is a dangerous combination.

buy an air ticket, go Japan, look at the quality of their roads, stand at the road side to see how they do it

or watch in youtube also can

 

We literally have the same machines, the spitting one, the heavy roller, the pressing thingy. It's not a lack of infrastructure or tools, but skill and effort.

And a few months later, holes will appear after monsoon season. What sad state of affairs for SG roads.

Two species: PHV and PAB. 

In order to make a honest living, they need to break some traffic laws one...

Could be some drivers thought they have the right of way also and pedestrians should also check and see before crossing. Thats why you said it is a dangerous combination.

But i still think thought pedestrians should look and check before crossing at any opening road? Isn’t such a practice is being though in school? I still remember you must stop before crossing and look left, look right and then look left again before crossing.

However, nowadays you see those kids crossing the road, they simply hold up their hand and just cross, as if like their hand has special power that every cars must stop and let them cross, no matter whether it is safe or not to cross. Lol.

Yes, confirmed lack of skill and effort, and never care attitude, plus never use their brain while doing. How could they can do the patching until so uneven, a hump and never align with the existing road surface?! 

Then LTA also one kind, when the holes appear again, they would just blame the weather and telling you not their fault and problem of all those holes.
