We have got really good road in Malaysia. If you drive to Genting, you'll see plenty of driver aids such as reflective road studs, flashing LEDs, and state-of-the-art wireless-controlled active traffic information boards along the way. However, once you get to the roads built by Genting, you won't see any of these. All you have to guide you in bad weather or in heavy fog is the painted white dividers in the middle of the road.
Genting can do more to install better road-safety infrastructure:
- reflective road studs placed along the side of roads to make it possible to identify the edge of the road
- sharp bend sign with blinkers to improve visibility in bad weather
- fog warning system to indicate traffic rules to observe: remind drivers to switch on headlights, observe speed limit, and provide visibility reading
When visibility drops to zero and with no help from Genting, it is like driving with a blindfold. Ask yourself if it is worth gambling with your life, or let Genting gamble with yours?
