Maybe the driver was not aware of it, but LTA should ensure that all lorry drivers should check for any leak before they leave the site and drive on the road. This is to ensure the safety of other road users especially the motorbikes. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZjcJnt8S670&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZjcJnt8S670&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />In this video, you can see the stretch of road dirtied by this lorry.

After numerous posts on such void deck parking and driving and complaints to the Town Councils, action have been taken to prevent it but at the expense of the residents here. I've not seen any vehicles driven into the void deck since the 2 bollards have been erected. <br /><br />The funds used to erect such bollards should be taken from the fines (if any) they issued to those who drove or park in the void deck.<br /><br />Take a look at my past posts on this issue;<br /><a href="http://irresponsiblemotorists.blogspot.com/2007/04/sfb-5298t-at-tampines-blk383.html">Here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://irresponsiblemotorists.blogspot.com/2007/12/sgs1228x-at-blk383-void-deck.html">Here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://irresponsiblemotorists.blogspot.com/2008/01/gy2194x-at-blk383-tampines-st32-void.html">Here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://irresponsiblemotorists.blogspot.com/2008/01/blue-car-at-hdb-void-deck.html">Here</a><br /><br /><a href="http://irresponsiblemotorists.blogspot.com/2008/03/sfs1975j-at-void-deck.html">and Here</a>stomponlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01903577495770642530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648783115992668165.post-16857206636146880882009-02-23T09:27:00.006+08:002009-02-23T10:07:46.695+08:00My Lane Obstructed, You Give Way!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_yKZPJMSPYwU/SaH-0sr0eII/AAAAAAAAEhs/Jfx5j4aGeNA/s640/Lane%20Obstruction%201.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 489px; height: 391px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_yKZPJMSPYwU/SaH-0sr0eII/AAAAAAAAEhs/Jfx5j4aGeNA/s640/Lane%20Obstruction%201.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_yKZPJMSPYwU/SaH-_jHpyVI/AAAAAAAAEh0/3fxE-LVchpM/s640/Lane%20Obstruction%202.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 485px; height: 388px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_yKZPJMSPYwU/SaH-_jHpyVI/AAAAAAAAEh0/3fxE-LVchpM/s640/Lane%20Obstruction%202.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This seems to be the norm now for most motorists and I wonder why? If your lane is obstructed, you should slow down or stop before you drive or even speed up to the opposite direction lane and expecting the oncoming vehicles to give way to you.

Such bikes here riding on footpath surrounding the perimeter of Tampines Mart is a daily affair. Despite my numerous emails to MP Mr.Mah, Town Council, Changi and Tampines NPP, TP, no strict action has been taken against such acts. Why? Why? Why? The bikers are still carrying on their illegal act on footpath daily and even when the NPP patrol car past by, they don't seem to have notice it! <br /><br />Must we wait till an accident occur before we act? There are 3 schools around and a number of kindergarten and childcare centres in this area too. MPs for Tampines, all the residents wanted is a safe environment to stay in - is it very difficult???<br /><br />The TP should launch an island wide campaign to catch these illegal footpath bikers like they catch those drink and drive! Pls do not give us statistics on how many you have booked over the years as the statistics clearly show that it is not enough!

I'm one who seldom drive more than 90km/h along the expressway unless necessary. I'm one that don't speed unnecessary yet I'm booked. I'm so happy because that may mean that all vehicles going faster than me might have been booked already, probably...<br /><br />Let's take a look at where I was booked and at what speed am I speeding;<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SOmu15nHPgI/AAAAAAAADxM/52Pd_z0SoP0/s320/summon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SOmu15nHPgI/AAAAAAAADxM/52Pd_z0SoP0/s320/summon.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SOl4m3DPK5I/AAAAAAAADxs/tr_FlJX7ZnY/s720/summonb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SOl4m3DPK5I/AAAAAAAADxs/tr_FlJX7ZnY/s720/summonb.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />So it's along the Upper Changi Road East towards Loyang (outside the S'pore Expo). See the map below;<br /><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=1.335469,103.958945&spn=0.008366,0.013647&z=16&output=embed&s=AARTsJpnOA3ioEtcI9rx_v7gyZqlolGTYw"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=1.335469,103.958945&spn=0.008366,0.013647&z=16&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br /><br />I must have turn right from Xilin Ave to Upper Changi Road East (outside the ITE) towards Loyang and the Traffic Police must have used his camera at the overhead bridge along this stretch of road. There are at least 2 traffic lights along this stretch of road - from junction of Xilin Ave and Upper Changi Road East to the T-junction of Expo Dr and Upper Changi Road East. So it's rather impossible for drivers to go at very high speed and moreover this road is wide enough (at least 3 lanes).<br /><br />Anyway I admit that I'm in the wrong coz I've exceeded the speed limit of 60km/h. The traffic police caught me speeding at 70+km/h! That's very bad of me so I was fined S$130 and given 4 demerit points! Luckily this time is only serve as an advisory to me and no action will be taken against me. Thank you Traffic Police for your kindness.<br /><br />So I'm returning the favour by posting here to advise others not to speed. <br /><br />Note : Maybe the TP should consider posting more cameras or their mobile squad along the expressway to book those slow / heavy vehicles speeding way above their speed limit and even drive along the fast lane. I'm sure those heavy vehicles doing above 90km/h or 100km/h along the expressway on the fast lane is more dangerous than those at 70+km/h along Upper Changi Road East, unless the TP have more than enough manpower.stomponlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01903577495770642530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648783115992668165.post-248100916133409872008-09-25T10:56:00.005+08:002008-09-25T11:02:46.860+08:00Scar Left By A Cyclist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/photo/getMediumSizePhoto.do?id=34308"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/photo/getMediumSizePhoto.do?id=34308" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Credit : STOMP<br /><br />The photo shows the scar on the leg left by a cyclist who hit one of them on the pedestrian walkway at Bukit Batok East Avenue 2.

Bus 576 had difficulty in entering the bus lane to the bus stop. This car and the taxi behind it also caused traffic to hold up.<br /><br />Actually traffic at this part was not that heavy but because of drivers like to stop at the road side and bus lane, thus caused the traffic congestion. Relevant authority should do something about it instead of just building ERP that didn't solve the problem. Take a walk here and see what is the actual problem!<br /><br />Just summon that few black sheep drivers instead of making everyone pay for the ERP charges. Put the traffic warden at the bus stop to book all these drivers.<br /><br />Video taken on : 29 Dec 2007, 7.45pmstomponlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01903577495770642530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648783115992668165.post-81630958405570838182008-07-29T09:52:00.002+08:002008-07-29T10:20:45.446+08:00Bikes Parked At Pedestrian Footpath Outside Far East Plaza<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/stomponli/SI59uubyoII/AAAAAAAADls/zA40R6OBRCI/Motorbikes%20At%20Scotts%20%281%29.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/stomponli/SI59uubyoII/AAAAAAAADls/zA40R6OBRCI/Motorbikes%20At%20Scotts%20%281%29.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/stomponli/SI5-Fmo4ScI/AAAAAAAADl0/htPkkCwnPQY/Motorbikes%20At%20Scotts%20%283%29.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/stomponli/SI5-Fmo4ScI/AAAAAAAADl0/htPkkCwnPQY/Motorbikes%20At%20Scotts%20%283%29.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OxmUdczg1dk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OxmUdczg1dk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Take a look at this stretch of pedestrian footpath outside Far East Plaza from Goodwood Park Hotel at Scotts Road.

Only people who walk on the footpath frequently will understand all these inconveniences.<br /><br />Video Taken On : 28 Dec 2007, 4.50pmstomponlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01903577495770642530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648783115992668165.post-71746523477878639182008-07-22T07:26:00.000+08:002008-07-22T07:26:45.587+08:00Illegal Parking & Stopping At Tampines Ave 2 Double Yellow Lines<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/stomponli/SH1fCIER9vI/AAAAAAAADjs/07df2kewlRw/N2%20Illegal%20Parking%20Photo1.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/stomponli/SH1fCIER9vI/AAAAAAAADjs/07df2kewlRw/N2%20Illegal%20Parking%20Photo1.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/stomponli/SH1fU6JJbVI/AAAAAAAADkM/_MrWdIzmwEU/N2%20Illegal%20Parking%20Photo%202.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/stomponli/SH1fU6JJbVI/AAAAAAAADkM/_MrWdIzmwEU/N2%20Illegal%20Parking%20Photo%202.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iAvYmlFLlfA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iAvYmlFLlfA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />This stretch of road near the T-Junction of Tampines Ave 2 and Tampines St.31, just before the traffic light and outside the N2 - You can find vehicles parked or stopped along the side of the road causing traffic to build up especially the buses need to filter out to avoid them.<br /><br /><iframe marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=2449952441406059304,1.351940,103.954590&saddr=1.351922,103.954353&daddr=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=16&sll=1.351622,103.954418&sspn=0.00886,0.013132&ie=UTF8&ll=1.351939,103.954568&spn=0.00886,0.013132&output=embed&s=AARTsJqTPWrp6c0-lquG7OX_Bgfh5VdD_g" scrolling="no" width="425" frameborder="0" height="350"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=2449952441406059304,1.351940,103.954590&saddr=1.351922,103.954353&daddr=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=16&sll=1.351622,103.954418&sspn=0.00886,0.013132&ie=UTF8&ll=1.351939,103.954568&spn=0.00886,0.013132&source=embed" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a></small><br /><br />Very inconsiderate of such drivers to stop or park along the side of this Tampines Ave 2.

I wonder if he got turn his head to check whether there were on coming vehicles. LTA already installed that Green Arrow traffic light long ago, and by now many motorists should be aware of it especially taxi drivers.<br /><br />By forching their way out, the vehicles on the main road have to brake and slow down to give way to them thus resulting in slowing down the traffic. Mind you, not all drivers can brake or slow down in time!<br /><br />Video taken on : 29 Nov 2007, 5.04pmstomponlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01903577495770642530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648783115992668165.post-68916425269582972192008-07-16T07:37:00.000+08:002008-07-16T07:37:05.721+08:00Electric Bicycle On The Road<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SHbEdvv_ZUI/AAAAAAAADhc/mTSIsw7JhC8/Electric%20Bicycle%20Photo.jpg?imgmax=512"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/stomponli/SHbEdvv_ZUI/AAAAAAAADhc/mTSIsw7JhC8/Electric%20Bicycle%20Photo.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YmtyAfry8j4&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YmtyAfry8j4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Look at this cyclist at the Pasir Ris pedestrian crossing.
