A couple of months back, several new street signs and lamp posts were installed in the vicinity of my home. Some fella with no taste at some public works department must've drawn up the designs for these hideous things. Now everytime I drive or walk by these ugly things, I am just overcome with dread... see for yourself.
Fig. 1 - Did you ever wonder why a road sign would need a roof? To keep it from getting wet??? And why is the roof only over part of the sign? There aren't even any lights installed in the roof to light the sign at night. Notice the puke ugly aluminium grille designs. There's more ornate grilles than there is information from the signs! What's with all that curly wurly stuff???
Fig. 2 - Not only is this sign ugly, it's also misleading. It's situated at the junction of Still Road/Joo Chiat Place but points more towards Joo Chiat Place. It's led a lot of people to believe that Joo Chiat Place is Still Road.
Fig. 3 - I suppose this street light matches the ugliness of the street sign. That's the only thing it's got going for it. That Chinky baby blue/turquoise colour... yeeecchhhh. I find the plain old ones much nicer.
Do you ever wonder how much of public funds is being wasted on such ugly street fittings? If you've got some equally ugly signs/lights/homes around your area, feel free to stick em in here. It'll be good for a laugh if nothing else.
