Signs. It either kills us or saves us. Singapore is blessed with enough to make sure we walk/drive in the safest way. Signs are out there to make life easier
(or harder if you decide to throw your rubbish without reading the signs) There are more than an 1001 signs out there. But here is the one sign that I like. A lot. Yes. A lot.
Well you see, I found this sign on my way to La'Salle. This is the thing I don't get. As you can see, its smacked right beside a traffic light. So why should we pedestrians use the overpass? Saying
USE and
THIS WAY TO is two different instructions. And look at the
'Overpass' representation. It doesn't even look like an overpass to me.
Okay. I now I don't use the overpass like we should do BUT I do know how and what a overpass is and how it looks like. I don't get this sign, at all. To me, it looks like a.. I don't know. I don't get the 'hanging bars' above the 'car like' structure'. Now here is the BEST PART. I found this a few meters away from this sign.
So which is which? Do we follow the 'car like structure' or do we follow this 'tupperware' looking structure? They are both showing to the same bloody overpass but they are both totally different Signs! Well, not really different signs but different representation of what an overpass is! But at least this one shows where the overpass is and not asking us to use it.
So I say we should change the signs here! We should change it to this.
Right?
