STOMPer Ng was concerned for the safety of photographers who squatted at a bus interchange zebra crossing to take photos of vehicles.
He was also worried for the safety of pedestrians who hesitated when crossing so as not to block the photographers.
The STOMPer saw the incident over the weekend near the New Bridge Road bus terminal at Outram Park.
He said in an email to STOMP:
"These photographers were risking their safety by squatting at the kerb of a bus interchange exit where buses turned out frequently.
"I was crossing the bridge after visiting Cantonment Police Complex to head to the MRT station, when I spotted the group of youths with DSLR cameras gathering at the island between two crossings (zebra crossing of the interchange and the pedestrian crossing).
"I noted that they were crouching down and seemed to be photographing vehicles exiting the interchange.
"However, they were not aware that there were pedestrians looking at them and wanting to cross the zebra crossing and they slowed down their pace to wait for the group to finish taking their photographs.
"They inconvenienced the pedestrians, as should the pedestrians walk behind the group of photographers, it would expose them to the dangers of oncoming traffic.
"Neither could they cross in front of the group, as they'll be cutting across the photographers view.
"The man in the photo behind the lamp post was standing there waiting for them to finish before crossing the road.
"Could the LTA and traffic police look into this kind of behaviour and educate the public about road safety?"
