SINGAPORE - Traffic lights at the junction of Yio Chu Kang Road and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 stopped working on Sunday (Nov 20) during a heavy downpour, causing a traffic jam.
Pictures of the incident taken by Ms Dilah Ali showed a chaotic scene as cars and buses headed in different directions made their way slowly across the junction.
Ms Ali, 31, was on her way from Punggol to Toa Payoh on bus service 88. When she experienced the slowdown in traffic at about 12.30pm, she thought at first that it was was due to the heavy rain.
"However, I saw a minor accident at the junction involving four cars. Then I realised that the traffic lights on all sides were not working," she said.
The bus was caught in the jam for about 15 minutes, according to Ms Dilah.
"The cars were coming in all directions and none gave way, they just tailgated each other. I felt a bit angry that the cars did not give way to the bus, and I heard many passengers from the lower deck urge the bus drive to 'just go!'" the receptionist said.
She also added that she only saw a traffic police officer arriving just as the bus emerged from the jam.
"The cars should have given the buses the right of way, but people were 'kiasu'. Surprisingly, I did not hear any honking," Ms Dilah said.
The Straits Times understands that a 'technical issue' had occurred with the traffic lights at the junction, and that the lights were fixed by around 1.15pm.

“然而，我在交叉口看到一个小小的事故，涉及四辆车，然后我意识到，所有方面的交通灯都不工作，”她说。
根据Dilah女士的说法，公共汽车被卡在果酱中大约15分钟。
“车子在各个方向来，没有让路，他们只是尾随对方，我感到有点生气，汽车没有让路的公共汽车，我听到许多乘客从下甲板敦促公共汽车开车”只是去！“”接待员说。
她还补充说，她只看到一个交通警察到达，正当公共汽车从果酱出来。
“车子应该给公共汽车的权利，但人们是'kiasu'。令人惊讶的是，我没有听到任何鸣叫，”迪拉说。
