Do people Keep to their Left or Right while walking? - Ola - 29-10-2024
Today, I cross a 1 lane small road while 3 aunties opposite walk towards me
Road so small, so 1 aunty bash into me and yell- AIYOH!
RE: Should people Keep to their Left or Right while walking? - Ola - 29-10-2024
I kept to my left and carrying 2 bags of around 3KG and 4KG
Walking very slow because groceries are so heavy
Yet, she bashed into me for what?

Moi supposed many sinkie have been taught since youth to walk on their left especially if they are walking slow. So moi assume most would grew up with the habit of walking to their left liao.
However do noticed there ish also a significant numbers of people who don't follow this code of conduct and just walk anyhao they like.

MP Baey Yam Keng- "For example, the guideline encouraging pedestrians to keep left on footpaths mirrors common practice today where users keep left on escalators," he said.

PAP said this since 2020 but after 4 YEARS they still fail
I rate PAP 2/10. Hopeless.

I had tried that but some people still refused to keep left. It became a hilarious waiting game and some women just growl. I wonder if they are uneducated Foreigners living in our midst.

Keep to the left in general but you still have to access the situation.

A related question do you all PCC with left or right hand? If follow Spore way keep left etc then in theory you should PCC with left hand I guess.

Not only walking on the left. MRT too. Many just rush in instead of giving way to exiting commutors. Must be foreigners.
RE: Do LOW SES people Keep to their Left or Right while walking? - Ola - 29-10-2024
Juts realised . . . MRT design mostly wrong by their FTs
Outside buttons on the right, so people stand on the right
Inside buttons on their right, so they come out from their right
PAP have no idea what is right or wrong side?
SMRT Managers/ Directors never check but paid the contractors?

Our lift design is also not correct.
Pressing lift up or down button by right should be triggering the elevator going up or down but instead it depends on the person who wants to go up or down the floor.

The 61% don't know whether to go left or right because pap didn't give any signboard instructions.
RE: Do people Keep to their Left or Right while walking? - WhatDoYouThink! - 30-10-2024
Next time stop and ask them for the reason, else you will never know why

This, I truly agree with you. So, we must fight it out and the winner takes it all. Be it nasty words, vulgarities, fists or knife. Besides pedestrians, joggers must also fight it out. Such an unnecessary stress in our lives.

CURRENT PAP is worst than tax- drivers
Even living in HDB does not have residential policies ie noise level, cats pee, leaking ceiling . . .
Open spaces by Town Council also don't have clear do nots
They just want to keep their useless Grassroots Busy for nothing
RE: Do people Keep to their Left or Right while walking? - Ola - 17-11-2024
My place has "My First Skool" childcare center
The Foreign teachers will lead all the toddlers to walk in the area on their RIGHT
The mess started with MOE and never clean up in the last 15 YEARS
That is why cyclist also yell at me "Excuse me! " demanding give way on my left

There are 6 million people in S'pore, of which only 61% are S'poreans (including many new citizens), 9% PRs and 30% foreigners. The growling pedestrians are most likely foreigners or newly minted citizens who are unfamiliar with how things work here.

Some even glued to their handphone and know not where they are walking.
