Difficult to cross Singapore roads

Singapore roads are wide. Vehicles travel quite fast, unless they are caught in a jam. It is difficult to cross the roads, especially for older people. The overhead bridges and traffic lights are not conveniently located and require a long walk.

The former athlete, Tan Eng Yeow, was knocked down and killed while crossing Upper Thomson Road, close to where I lived previously.

I prefer the traffic situation in Vancouver. In the city, there is a low speed limit. Most vehicles travel slowly. The drivers are courteous.
