70-year-old man allegedly hit by cyclist behind Yishun bus stop, calls for 'dismount and push' sign

[buttbERry]

How come like that leh?

Walking is a necessity.

Cycling is a choice.
If one chooses to cycle, one should accept the risks of cycling on the road.

I don't understand why that idiotic Active Mobility Advisory Panel passed the danger of collision to pedestrians.

I won't be surprised most of the AMAP members are self-serving cyclists.

I dun agree with this.

If walking paths and cycling paths have been marked clearly, then it is up to both cyclists and pedestrians to follow the paths.

Walking doesn't mean tai sai until need to block cyclists from the pavement.

with all due respect, i don’t think any pedestrain will purposely block cyclist (tai sai).

it is more of cyclist thinking they are the priority on shared path, they just rambut and ring ring all the way.

As a driver, we don’t keep horning our horns to ask other driver to get lost, even if we notice pedestrain, we give a single horn to warn the pedestrain that their action is dangerous. We don’t keep horning like the horn is a get of the way card.

Some do, especially at busstops where lanes have already been marked specifically for cyclists to move through. People waiting for the buses should take care to avoid standing in the middle of those marked lanes and either stand at the busstop or further back in the sheltered walkway, not stand in the middle.

Like that our roads also need dismount and push signs too.

Stand behind bus stop is really asking for it. Stand INSAI lah.

Pedestrians should not be allowed on cycling paths, and cyclists should stay off pedestrian paths. Clear separation will teach everyone to be more mindful of shared spaces. On shared paths, cyclists must slow down and exercise extra caution.

I’ve seen pedestrians wearing noise-cancelling earphones, completely unaware of approaching cyclists. The same type of pedestrian probably wouldn’t notice a car with a loud exhaust either. I’ve also seen people crossing roads without using pedestrian crossings, making no effort to check for oncoming traffic. Likewise, I once walked around a bend on a pavement and was nearly hit by a speeding cyclist who clearly couldn’t see what was ahead but didn’t slow down.

In Singapore, we have problematic behaviour on both sides, pedestrians and cyclists alike. Both groups must be held accountable.

 

[dev_stg_prd]

normally cyclist will go behind the bus stop so as to avoid commuters waiting or boarding the bus in front what
isnt that why there's a space behind most bus stop nowadays?

why this ah pek go stand behind the bus stop?

This ah pek when cycle got dismount and push ?

I was talking about pavements and walkways.
Not cycling paths.

i can’t remember where, but i read somewhere before. but do correct me if i am wrong. there is a guidline for cyclist. if the path does not have a clear path, get down from the bicycle and push.

by that, logically it would mean not ringing the bell and ask other to get lost but it would mean getting down from the bicycle and push the bicycle to navigate the path.

I am referring also to pavements and walkways too.

Being a pedestrian doesn't mean tai sai until a group of pedestrians can walk side by side until the entire width of the pavement and walkway is blocked.

Commuter etiquette is both ways, pedestrian dun block cyclist and cyclist dun block pedestrian.

If the path is wide enough then it is reasonable to leave a gap for the cyclist to move through.

 

[pohw0008]

Bus stop can be stand Infront, behind, middle,.left, right lah.
Bicycle should stay away from bus stop. Go on the road or bicycle PCN

But the uncle was standing at the pcn and kanna bang.

 

[pohw0008]

These cyclist and PMD won’t dismount for the short distant behind the bus stop lah. Must install railing at both end to force them to dismount to push over.

Even if install also won't dismount one.. the most can slow down.. unless you install until wheelchair also cannot pass..

 

[PikaPika33]

signs no use one la

everywhere got signs

yet they still zoom and ring you

point them towards the sign they curse at you

some malls install barriers they also no chap
always got ways to squeeze through, until become more of a nuisance to normal human

 

[PikaPika33]

stand behind mean can bang meh?

still a footpath

means cyclists on road means car can bang?
no right?

 

[pohw0008]

Cycling used to be banned from pavements & walkways. Then that Active Mobility Advisory Panel reversed the ban to protect these two-wheeled elites (from getting hit by cars on the roads) and let them hit hapless pedestrians instead.

Honestly never of that before

 

[eversomighty]

come on, its lawless Yishun..

 

[Kiwi8]

But the uncle was standing at the pcn and kanna bang.

Exactly. The general etiquette is for pedestrians not to block the pcn lor.

 

[pohw0008]

I ever saw cyclist cycle in mrt station

You nvr see cycle into shopping mall? Siao one
