Traffic marshal uses fancy hand signals to guide vehicles in Bukit Merah, netizens divided

Traffic marshal spotted guiding vehicles like orchestra conductor

Recently, a netizen came across a unique sight at a traffic junction in Singapore while waiting for the green light.

A traffic marshal who was deployed to direct vehicles at Lower Delta flyover was doing his job with some extra flair.

The passing motorist shared footage of the entertaining sight on 25 Aug via TikTok.

Traffic control officer ‘conducts’ and ‘dances’

In the footage, the traffic marshal points and gestures as though he was dancing.

He bends forward and points rhythmically, occasionally flicking the stick in his right hand.

Rather than gesturing the usual straight-forward signals, the marshal looks like he is ‘conducting’ the traffic.

For the Original Poster (OP), the sight stood out and amused him.

“Had the best view on the way to work today. Respect you, uncle,” wrote the OP, who also overlaid the song ‘Bad’ by Michael Jackson to complement the marshal’s ‘dance moves’.

Some netizens concerned

Although some netizens found the sight entertaining, the traffic marshal’s unique gestures raised a few concerns.

Some netizens feel puzzled by his gestures and said that drivers would not be able to understand his signals.

A few questioned his professionalism as they felt that the officer is “playing” on the job.

One netizen claimed that they allegedly quarreled with the officer and that he is “not that friendly” as he seems.
