SINGAPORE: Residents of Marine Parade have called for more measures to make the pavements around a roundabout safer, after an elderly woman died from injuries sustained in a crash on Monday .
Another resident Mrs Dawn Seow said that road users often do not drive safely near the roundabout. Her family had a few close brushes after moving to a condominium in the area a year ago. "Roundabouts are not in the driving test in Singapore so people are not used to them. Whenever you are here or by the stadium, roundabouts are always hazardous. This one over here, it's the speed that people go around and [the] lack of lane discipline that is the problem."
To advice motorists on the speed limit, LTA has also erected traffic signs in response to the concerns of the residents. With a lack of pedestrian crossings, pedestrians may it unnerving when crossing on the roundabout exits, such as the one right outside her condominium Silversea, she said. Residents Mrs Ankita Pareek and Ms Wang Shirley said that there is a need for roads to be safer due to families with young children living in the area and the proximity to schools nearby. Among them are Canadian International School, Tao Nan School, Tanjong Katong Girls' School and Tanjong Katong Secondary School and several kindergartens."They should put up some barricades to protect the people walking. We are very careful when we walk here especially because we have small kids.
