Stomper James said the incident happened on Dec 30 at about 5.14pm. "Some people blindly follow others to cross the road without checking the traffic light," said James. In a video shared by James, two riders can seen going across a pedestrian crossing near People's Park Centre even though the traffic light was red for them. A pedestrian also attempted to cross the road, but stopped midway and turned back. Two other pedestrians – a man and a woman – were seen almost stepping onto the road as well, but retreated after realising that James' car and a motorcycle were approaching. That's not all – James was then forced to slow down to avoid another person cycling across the road. "I want to give a warning to road users. Beware of jaywalkers and cyclists alike," added James. Similar close calls have been reported on Stomp recently. One involved a pedestrian who sprinted across a road in Boat Quay, while another case saw a cyclist riding across a road in Kaki Bukit. ![dangerous pedestrians](https://cassette.sphdigital.com.sg/image/stomp/51f4fc35cb7a5b4419b4822050812eac333acd2c4a8ebf0717ae61da91e7fe03) *PHOTOS: STOMP*
