Real Life Video Game – Frog Crosses the Road Outside Jingmei MRT Station

Jingmei MRT station’s exit 2 is a place where the traffic problems are numerous.  Being only a short walk away from the night market and with hoards of people passing through, surprisingly the area has no pedestrian crossing signals.  Although there is a zebra crossing, there are no traffic lights, and with taxis often blocking the road crossing, pedestrians have no option but to embark on the perilous journey across the road.  To make matters worse, there is a school and large residential housing area nearby, with many young children and elderly people.  Without traffic signals, you often see passengers putting themselves in grave danger while running for the bus - a danger usually only witnessed in crazy computer games like, ‘Frog Crosses the Road”.

台北市景美捷運站二號出口處交通問題多多，該處靠近景美夜市，人潮眾多，但是卻沒有任何號誌燈，而路上明明有斑馬線卻沒有紅綠燈，加上計程車排班擋住路口，人車搶道險象環生。而景美捷運站又鄰近學校與住宅區，有許多小朋友與老人家，沒有紅綠燈的指引，常常可以看到追公車的乘客，相當危險，行人的安全就像青蛙過街，令人擔憂。
