Sometimes i really wonder what makes some of these house owners think that they own the road outside their houses too. So often you see people put their trashbins along the kerb just to prevent others from parking outside their houses. I mean, the road is common property, and if there is no double yellow lines or whatsoever, it is LEGAL to park. Even if there is dbl yellow line, i can still park if i want as i am taking the risks in getting a summon. Yesterday, i parked outside this house along carpmael road (off joochiat).. there is no marking on the road, so its legal. The kerb between the 2 houses is actually long enough to accomodate my car length. I even got out the car after i parked to ensure i am not obstructing any of the unit's entrance... When i return to my car.. someone actually leaned the trashbin AGAINST (not just near) my driver's door. It is just sickening to the core. I was tempted to ring the bell of the house but even if they did, they will deny the deed. And yes, there is a chance its really not them, but the mischieve of some boliao people. I had seen before, a house owner after moving away his vehicle from the spot outside his house, will actually place the bin in the same spot then drive off...what i did then was to remove the bin and park there. For house owners that are in the forum here, do you use bins to chop the road outside your house too? And do you have the possessive mindset of the road outside your houses too? seen too many examples at these estates.

Public parking in private estate grumbles!

Source: https://mustsharenews.com/parking-landed-estate-road/ Landed Estate Road Parking Not Allowed Due To Single Continuous White Line In The Centre Now that more Singaporeans are going out, finding a parking space might be difficult. However, for some residents living in a landed property estate in Sembawang, such a problem arises even when they come home. Officers from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) allegedly fined them for parking along the small road outside their houses, saying it’s not allowed. This led a resident to ask: Where else can they park? 2 officers walk around estate The incident was recorded in a TikTok video posted on Sunday (5 Jun), capturing the tense scene. In the video, two officers were seen walking around a residential estate. A few people – presumably residents – can also be seen standing on the road, looking frustratedly at the officers. A road sign is briefly seen, identifying the road as Penaga Place — located in a residential estate off Sembawang Road and opposite Sembawang Park. Officers allegedly disallow landed estate road parking According to the OP, LTA officers had asked the whole neighbourhood to “park somewhere else”. He also included screenshots of messages to him, saying that their cars were getting fined. Apparently, the reason is that parking isn’t allowed on “the whole row”. From the video, we can see a single continuous line running down the centre of all the roads in the area. The road marking means no parking is allowed on either side of the road at all times, according to rules stated on the LTA website. Resident asks where they can park However, the OP said his neighbourhood wasn’t happy to hear this. He asked rhetorically where residents are supposed to park, if not on the road outside their houses. Judging from his hand gesture, a man in the video seemed to be asking the same thing while talking to one of the officers. In the comments, the OP also clarified that only one car can fit inside the compounds of the houses in the estate, and he already parks one of his cars inside. Most of the residents in the area own at least three cars, he added. In fact, some of them don’t even park their cars in their own houses, he claimed. Most netizens unsympathetic Most netizens who commented on the video weren’t sympathetic, though. Many suggested that the residents should simply park their cars inside their compound, and if there’s no space, they should’ve taken that into consideration when buying more than one car. Some also dismissed their parking woes as “rich people problems”. They also felt that it wasn’t the officers’ fault as they were doing their job. One netizen who faced the issue advised them to find a place to park farther away and walk home. However, a commenter who empathised with the residents agreed that there was no such place to park. The lack of sympathy for his plight prompted the OP to lament the “hate and anger” shown by netizens. Landed estate road parking is tricky In land-scarce Singapore, it’s a fact that some landed property dwellers have limited parking space in their compound and non-existent parking outside. Thus, following LTA rules strictly may be impossible if they have more than one car, and parking far away defeats the purpose of having a car. However, rules are there for a reason and must be followed unless they’re changed. Unfortunately, most Singaporeans won’t be able to empathise with the problem, considering they live in flats and may not have three cars per household. Do you think the residents in this estate should be allowed to park on the road? Do share your thoughts with us. -
With so many videos of serious car accidents circulating around lately, you would think that drivers will learn to pay more attention on the road. Well apparently not for this reckless BMW driver who obviously has no concern about safe driving. Watch the 31-seconds video here and try not to rage: What happened? According to the caption of the video, the incident happened at Sembawang Road at around midnight last night. In the video, we can clearly see that the light has turned red at the 0:11 mark. Drivers and riders that can be seen in the video had either stopped or were slowing down when approaching the traffic junction. With the green light in pedestrian’s favour, the cyclist started to make his/her way across the road as would any of us. Just when the cyclist made about a quarter of his/her way across the road, SEVEN (7) WHOLE SECONDS after the lights had turned red, a BMW can be seen speeding on the middle lane into the frame of the video with NO ATTEMPT to slow down or stop. What the hell? Tragedy Strikes The speeding car smashed into the unsuspecting cyclist before coming to an abrupt halt. The high-speed impact sent the poor cyclist flying from his bicycle and onto the cold hard floor nearby. The video then ends with a nearby motorcyclist approaching the scene seemingly to render assistance. Online Chatter My exact sentiments! Who the hell approved this f*****’s license?! Clearly you are not suitable to be driving if you are BLIND AF. Umm, okay… I, for one, believe that there is no reason ever good enough to have such blatant disregard to road safety at the (possible) expense of innocent lives. If you want to die, don’t drag others down with you la please. Wtf, where the sauce bro?? I have seen my fair share of NON-BMW and MERC who were behaving recklessly on the road as well. It’s not the car, it’s the driver la. Last but Not Least Like what the comments above say, road users PLEASE, for the love of God, exercise caution whenever you are on the road – especially the helpless pedestrians. The green light may be in your favour but some people, like this BMW driver, have issues distinguishing between green and red or may possibly be distracted. Let’s all pray for the cyclist and that the reckless driver gets his/her due punishment! Stay safe and be safe everyone! ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today! -
Entitled pedestrian forces cars to stop for him while he jaywalks
unicornfloof posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
An entitled jaywalker was caught "using the Force" to make cars stop for him as he crossed a traffic junction while the traffic lights were red. The short video showed a camcar driver attempting to turn right at Wellington Circle when the light was green, only to suddenly stop short when the driver noticed a man jaywalking across the road. As if stopping the car was not enough for him, the man had his arm stretched out to signal for other vehicles to stop for him as well. Very similar to using the Force (Star Wars reference). According to the driver, he felt that it was not wise of the jaywalker to risk his life as not all drivers might be paying attention while making a turn. Jaywalking is a chargeable offence. First-time offenders will be issued a fine of $50 while repeat offenders will be issued a fine of up to $1,000- and 3-months jail! Netizens' reactions Some of the comments make for very good captions. Pedestrians should be considerate and avoid jaywalking to prevent accidents from happening.

Been there many moons back, teenage days, went there yesterday, was my 2nd time, there are now limited chairs which u can grab and use Nparks was there doing some surveys on what improvements would you like to have, you can vote or leave a comment on the board, online survey is also available Better go before it’s developed, for me always prefer the rustic and quiet environment Next time with more “life” injected and a cafe, would probably been a much different feel from now Think older folks really enjoy it, some were taking a shower, some cooking eggs Enjoy the hot spring water, wonder if it’s psychological, but my feet do feel really smooth after the short soak The water is very hot, need to wait for the water to cool before putting your feet in, so its best to plan a day where you have time and not in a rush, bring your own pail and basins if you dont wanna share, bouht mine coz of hygiene reasons, u can also bring eggs to cook and eat too No parking around there, parked at nearby hdb and grab a car over, saw a group of cyclists there, cycling is probably the best mode of transport to get there now singapore’s only hot spring, worth a visit http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/sembawang-hot-spring-to-be-developed-into-1-hectare-park-by-2019-9439366

An additional station will be built between Yishun and Sembawang on the North-South Line, and it will be known as Canberra station, said Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew on Friday (June 27). He said the feasibility study has been completed, and the Land Transport Authority will provide more details on it later. Mr Lui was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thomson Line, which will be opened in three phases in 2019, 2020 and 2021. When fully opened, the line will bring an additional 60 per cent capacity to the North-South corridor, he said. When fully completed in 2021, the Thomson Line will have 22 stations, including six interchanges. The line will see a projected daily ridership of about 400,000 commuters, and will serve several housing estates in the north and central areas – including Woodlands, Sin Ming, Thomson and Kim Seng – and connect them to the city and the rest of the MRT network. The 30km-long line will also be eventually linked to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, he said. Apart from the new line, Mr Lui also spoke about the planned expansions to the existing rail network – the West Loop of the Punggol LRT, which will open on Sunday (June 29); the North-South Line Extension, which will open later this year; the Tuas West Extension, which will open in 2016; and the Downtown Line, which will be fully opened in 2017.

A leak was discovered in one of the fuel tanks within the Shell retail petrol station in Sembawang. The leak appeared to be an isolated case which has now been contained. No one was injured during the incident. The station will be closed indefinitely until the area is cleaned up and the cause of the leak investigated.
