'Can we as a Malaysian Family be more inclusive of pedestrians?' - A. Lee

Difficult to cross: Jalan Masjid Negeri in George Town. — Filepic/The Star

Some notable examples I can mention that are not pedestrian- friendly are the six-lane Lebuhraya Thean Teik, five/six-lane Jalan Masjid Negeri and the four-lane section of Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu after Queensbay Mall. These roads, which are used by pedestrians, are very straight in design and that encourages speeding; they also don’t have suitable/adequate pedestrian facilities.

And then there is our motorists’ attitude towards pedestrian infrastructure. It has become a norm for vehicles of all sizes to ignore red lights – so much so that the Road Transport Department had to initiate Ops Merah . In my opinion, it is useless to have the latest technologies when there are still archaic laws that prevent using such technology to its full potential. Over in Shenzhen, China, traffic offenders have been caught on cameras since 2018 and are publicly shamed as well. While I do not agree with public shaming, I do think that CCTVs can make capturing offenders much more efficient.
