Low road signs pose a hazard
IS there a stipulation on the minimum height of road signs. I see road signs are set at a height of about 5 ft. At such a low height there is every danger of unwary pedestrians walking into it.
On one occasion I crashed into a sign, hurting my forehead and back. There have been other occasions when I have avoided knocking my head against the sharp edge of a sign in the nick of time.
Low roads signs straddle the pavements even in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. A pedestrian has to keep a sharp look-out so as not to run into a roadsign in addition to avoiding holes, bumps and loose tiles on pavements.
