     ①The overhead bridges are more useful，though people have to climb up a lot of steps.When people use an overhead bridge，they do not hold up traffic.But when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing，traffic is held up.This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help and keep traffic moving at the same time.
     The government of Singapore has spent a lot of money building these bridges.Some overhead bridges even have traffic lights on them.For their own safety，people should use them.Old people may find it a little difficult to climb up and down the steps，but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the moving traffic.
