While praiseworthy, it is hardly a comparable situation to the Penang Bridge , which handles 20,000 vehicles per day.<br />The Penang Bridge is a Very high traffic volume highway. The best safety advice on such roads is , stay within the speed limit, and drive as fast as it is safe to do so, given traffic conditions.<br /><br />In UK, along designated stretches of motorway, you can be fined if you drive slower than 30 km/h <b>below</b> the speed limit without good reason. That is because you then become a traffic obstruction, and hence a traffic hazard in itself.Monsterballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694084861364885645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-22500157351733242482016-09-25T12:13:06.868+08:002016-09-25T12:13:06.868+08:00 Penang Bridge speed limit is 80 km/h. As you know... Penang Bridge speed limit is 80 km/h. As you know not all drivers stick to it.<br /><br />It is not easy to catch a rooster. That officer in the photo is taking an enormous risk.<br /><br />It is also not easy for drivers to spot a rooster from far enough distance to slow down safely. Faced with either knocking the rooster or swerving/emergency braking which will result in a pile-up, what will the driver do? This is not some quaint village road with animal crossing signs but a 6-lane highway type of road. Usually traffic is continuous and packed on all 3 lanes.<br /><br />One of the much feared thing to happen to a car driver is to have a tyre puncture because to change a wheel is one of the most dangerous thing to do on the bridge.Al Berthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251769866746245911noreply@blogger.com
