Pedestrians are kings of the road


Motorist beating the red light and not stopping at pedestrian crossing while there are pedestrians wanting to cross the road. RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star.

IN early April last year, a woman was killed after she was hit by a motorcyclist who ran the red light at a pedestrian crossing in Burmah Road near the Pulau Tikus police station.

This senseless loss of life should not have happened. It occurred because of poor enforcement that has encouraged flagrant flouting of traffic rules particularly by motorcyclists.
