| I mean...we are already in the wireless age! |
A couple of months ago, I was motorcycling along Taytay’s
main road when I was hit by a dangling cable. If it was not for my eyeglasses,
I think my eyes would have been gouged out.
I know that the electrical posts
are not government properties and I don’t know if the local government has any
powers in regulating their use, but when it comes to public safety the government
has the right to intervene especially when wires and cables dangling from posts
pose danger to motorists and pedestrians alike.
Electrical posts now hosts TV
cables, telephone cables, internet cables from different service providers that
is why they are overloaded beyond their capacity. Apart from over loading of cables,
another things is that disconnected or cut cables are left dangling thus adding
to the volume of spaghetti like wires that is not only a physical danger but is
also a visual pollution in the community.
It’s time the national government
or the local government does something about this. I don’t have figures but I
think there are many motor accidents especially among riders caused by these
dangling wires.
