Marine Parade roundabout changes

[Beehive3783]

Newton Circus is an extremely fcked up example of a roundabout.

 

Not recommended to practice there.

 

Actually still can find a few roundabouts in sg la. Newton circus almost everyone sure have drive thru it before. And places in marine parade, stadium, serangoon garden also have roundabout. Where else? Lol.

Elections coming, so everything very chop chop.

It's a roundabout. No need to politicised the issue. They are doing their best to up the safety level in that area. If you want to attack the govt, do it in a constructive manner.

Actually this round about was a fun one back in the 80's, when the previous Amberville Apts were there (before silversea) 

 

Now its a nightmare ..... everytime got works going on somehow or rather (lotsa blurr coks)

 

Army daze used to race around in Mini's/Datsun's or whatever 1.2 or 1.3L cars we could land our hand on (Parkway Parade was just coming up) so the road was dead quiet, dunno Abang @evillusion got try or not  ..... like sowing wild oats

 

But Newton is still a nightmare, Enter also scared, Exit also scared

 

Actually another one thats gone missing is at Kallang near the Stadium   (exit to Nicoll highway/Guillemard/Mountbatten Road)

 

I think the main problem is there are hardly any roundabouts in SG. For me who grew up in the East and is a regular to PP, easy peasy. Last time is 3 lanes, no problems at all! For many, it might be the 1st time they encounter a roundabout. Hence blur-co*k !!!! 

 

alamak !! this roundabout has been there for more than 40 odd years I'm sure ...... whats got to do with Elections 

Elections coming, so everything very chop chop.

Newton Circus, i mean Circle is really bad?

 

I find it ok. Good to be in correct lane and be alert, slow down for kancheong spiders to move along. Dun demand right of way mentality too much and cars/buses/bikes will move along much faster.

 

With signalised system i find it less smooth in that its no longer a one time circular travelling pattern to exit. Most times vehicles get stuck cos of the red light and that prevented those coming from lane without traffic light to not be able to move out.

 

But i suppose accidents have lessen.

 

Just my tots. But drivers must really be calm and patient ya. It helps to give u and others an enjoyable ride most times.

 

Safe ride

Cheers

Newton cicrcus even with signal lights still very chaotic and dangerous.

Cos our roundabouts are too small. Up to the late 90s still ok, after that simply too many cars

I love the 70's QueensTown Roundabouts..where there is a Fountain in it,i weather anybody still got Photos of these Fountains.?

actually roundabout is more efficient in design but Singapore drivers are not experienced in driving in roundabout and don't follow roundabout rules.
