In Indonesia, it seems like you can horn, telling others that you are changing lane, and other drivers will allow you to.<BR/><BR/>Recently when I drove in Las Vegas, once I need to turn left but not on the left-turning lane and a car was behind. I behaved Singaporeanly waiting for it to turn first before I change lane. However, the driver waited behind for me to turn first instead.<BR/><BR/>To Dutchie, yes please, please tell/educate our planners that. They have been assuming that due to land scarcity, they can't afford any slice of way for cyclists, which I read from others saying that this assumption is wrong.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I enjoyed cycling in Eindhoven when I was there for a week back in 2003.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9657997.post-29747820033945678772008-12-15T01:50:00.000+08:002008-12-15T01:50:00.000+08:00Bedok Reservoir Park sounds like a great place to ...Bedok Reservoir Park sounds like a great place to relax. I'm not familiar with the area (I'm a mountain tortoise outside of Orchard - haha).<BR/><BR/>It's too bad that cyclists hv little safe passage in which to ride. NL is a cyclist nation, so we hv cyclist paths in the neighbourhoods, as well as next to provincial roads (not the highway tho, the traffic is too hectic).<BR/><BR/>I wouldnt know how Sg is going to tackle this issue since roads r already so congested. Perhaps in planning new roads, the planning committee could take into account in leaving a slice of the way for cyclist to ride safely ? <BR/><BR/>Actually within any neighbourhood in Sg, there r parks where u could cycle to ur heart's contend ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
