RAISE your hand if you want to join the bandwagon of pedestrians who get rankled at this particular lane right before the overpass at Tiong San, Harrison (not to mention other areas where inefficient traffic rules are unbridled). The installation of traffic lights is suppose to pave the way for a more systematic and safer interface among commuters, pedestrians and drivers alike but ironically, the exact opposite is happening.
I can’t fathom what seems to be the reason for drivers to rush, bumper to bumper -- oblivious of the dangers that could result from their haphazard actions while being totally mindless of pedestrians who patiently wait for those sparse few minutes when they could safely cross to the other side. Even those given scant moments are being taken away when these headstrong drivers occupy that meager meter or two of white- painted lines indicating the only safe area for people to walk.
