Drivers are rude and pedestrians are oblivious to the traffic rules. I myself am a driver and a pedestrian, and even I don&#39;t trust drivers to stop at a zebra crossing!<br /><br />cheers,<br />Alvinstalker878http://www.blogger.com/profile/17259742503513381124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9787865.post-87982800157776976632009-05-19T07:01:00.000+08:002009-05-19T07:01:00.000+08:00i live in a big city with lot of traffic (São Paulo, 3rd biggest city in the world) and i´ve seen many incidents and accidents (some resulting in death)...<br /><br />i agree with you, and there is another thing that helps this situation ... lack of education ... but not the formal education (school, university) i mean the respect for the other...<br /><br />sorry about the poor english ..<br /><br />greetings from Brasil !L.U.I.Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10326939844086183438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9787865.post-19689529728063282182009-05-12T03:22:00.000+08:002009-05-12T03:22:00.000+08:00Great Blog,<br />you should submit it to The Expat Directory:<br />http://www.theexpatdirectory.com/forms/add_site.phpTEDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11513936660454077357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9787865.post-41546010955501551792009-05-04T08:43:00.000+08:002009-05-04T08:43:00.000+08:00You are right. Which leads to more frustrated drivers, and more running of red lights. <br /><br />I guess the same logic applies - personal convenience (walking against the signal) vs. societal consequences <br /><br />The definition of Autism includes impaired social interaction and a lack of empathy - perhaps we have a case of national autism.Waleed Hanafihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01688647550018227829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9787865.post-9681538284436528172009-05-04T08:27:00.000+08:002009-05-04T08:27:00.000+08:00The flip side of the coin, is that pedestrians also treat the flashing green man and red man as optional as well. <br /><br />Take a look at the crossing between Borders and Orchard MRT any time of the day or night, and you will see what I mean - people who believe they can start to cross when the countdown timer is flashing "03", or families with grandma, baby stroller and shopping bags, crossing when the red man is showing, oblivious to the oncoming traffic.Gerald Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14903907076329112905noreply@blogger.com
