Ladies & Gentlemen:
I would like to sound you people out, bring to your attention to
someone's STUPID idea of using solid concrete blocks as road
dividers/markers.
Location is at Sengkang, Anchorvale Drive, in estate of blocks
301-304 near Nan Chiau High School.
The service road inside this estate, uses solid blocks of
curb-height concrete as center dividers or markers. In all other
estates in Singapore, we usually come across one continues concrete
divider or island divider, or those red/orange flexible rubber
flaps that bend if you run over it.
These solid blocks of conrete markers/divider are curb-height, look
like little pyramids, and can cause some serious damage to the
under-carriage of your vehicle, knock your steering off-balance, or
possibly break your steering arm or puncture your oil sump!
I slammed into one at around 15Km/h, and the impact threw my
steering off-balance. These stupid things were painted yellow, not
the usual red or orange warning colors. Besides color-code, it's
not safe to use solid concrete for these markers!!
You people who visit this estate, watch out for these markers cum
dividers, or you can potentially end up with costly repairs to your
vehicle! Take pictures of it if you can, and post them here for all
to see.
And it would be great, if someone can find out who's brialliant
person who came up with these sort of marker dividers.
