My bro, you said UP doesn't have the land to make sure the junction is even safe to turn, and now you said Singapore is small enough for them to make it work. Do you even understand what is the topic about?

Do you even read full messages? They limited car registrations, and have good public transport, because they have to when they are that small.

That junction is unsafe only to car brains. That cyclist was riding the wrong way, which somehow doesn't count?

That elevated road was made to appease outsider car brains, and ate up the space that could have satisfied whatever people here say should have been put up for the benefit of laypersons (who seem to have the fortitude to bear the elevated road hogging space there).

Yet, that elevated road is all right for people here. Right? Otherwise, how could a car-brain third-worldliness pornographer have parked his personal ride on the road above and recorded this!

Yes i read the whole thing. So tell me, how the hell does limiting car and good public transport automagically make their road good?

And what the heck are you on about? That's not even on topic.

Some guy brings up Singapore, I talk about Singapore, and the guy says it is not on topic.

Apparently, road design has nothing to do with whether public transport is involved or not and in what form.

That's the Internet.

I mention singapore because you said UP doesn't have enough space to do it, yet you said singapore is small enough to able to do it because of unrelated reason.

You still haven't tell me how having a good public transport will automagically make sure this sort of junction, which consist of more than 90° angle left turn, no line to indicate who got the priority and who need to yield, and no yellow line in the middle of junction to indicate no stopping, would never exists.

You're proven wrong yet still want to twist it as if others are so wrong and you're the only correct one. Now that's the internet.
