STOMPer Choo sent this illustration to highlight the hazards for cyclists and drivers in Choa Chu Kang, following recent accidents in the area.

The STOMPer also sent this photo taken of an accident at the traffic junction of Choa Chu Kang Ave 4 and Choa Chu Kang Loop at about 4.30pm on Thursday (29 Nov).

"This accident happened just a couple of weeks after another accident (I believed it was reported in ST Forum online letters) which occurred at only the next junction to the above, at Choa Chu Kang Ave 4 and Choa Chu Kang Way," Choo said in an email on 30 Nov.

"The goods of the damaged lorry landed on the traffic island where all pedestrians usually stand while waiting to cross the road.

"Fortunately no one was injured. I remembered a news contributor appealing for something to be done, and he highlighted that many pedestrians can be seen standing on the island of the traffic junction whenever he drove past this junction each morning to work.

"I have drawn an illustration of a situation which might cause these accidents to happen.

Perhaps it is in no way related to both accidents. I'm talking about cyclists," the STOMPer said.Choo said there are many cyclists in Choa Chu Kang, especially during peak hours.

"I have witnessed a car stopping just before a pedestrian crossing to avoid a cyclist speeding across it. The driver was making a right turn. It was almost an emergency brake for the driver.
"If the cyclist is coming from the opposite direction, I'm sure the driver can see him. But it will be more difficult if the cyclist is coming in the same direction as the car driver.

"It's an unpredictable situation for any car driver. The driver has to turn his head further to the right and behind to check for any cyclists trying to dash across "pedestrian crossings" before he makes a right run.

"I hope something can be done to inculcate safer cycling habits," Choo said.

Accident at junction of CCK Drive and CCK N6

The car making U turn, taxi was horning as it was his right of way.
Car did not give way, taxi can't stop in time.

The result? Two very unhappy drivers on a Sunday morning.
