MANHOLE…..: Stephen spraying yellow paint to warm drivers of the dangerous manhole cover.
By : DAP MEDIA
THERE is a ‘Death Trap’ in the middle of the road in front of the Venetian Club on the Jalan Lintas near the traffic light junction. There is a manhole cover sticking up 8 inches high from the road surface, and this cannot be seen by the car drivers.
There are many complaints saying that their cars hit the manhole cover and sustained heavy damages to the car. There are clear marks on the manhole cover which are made by car ramping onto it.
Sabah DAP Kapayan Branch Chairman Stephen Jimbagan received complaints from road users and immediately inspected the spot and confirmed that this is definitely a ‘death-trap’ which can cause serious road accident besides damaging vehicles. He instantly bought a can of yellow paint to spray marking around the manhole cover to show the location of the dangerous manhole cover to warm the motorists of the spot.
The JKR had been informed of the dangerous spot and they said they will take immediate action to level the danger spot and make good the defects.
Stephen urges the JKR to be more careful in any situation involving public safety and especially on the highway, because accident can happen anytime if the drivers did not notice the dangerous spot on the road. A deep pot hole or a pool of water at the corner of the road can kill, and this had happened before in Kapayan and Penampang area.
Ini kerosakan kecil ja ni. kalau tgk di jalan2 lain ada yang lagi teruk. tapi sebaiknya kerosakan2 yang kecil ni pun perlu diperbaiki sebelum menjadi lebih teruk.
ReplyDeletejalan yang rosak ini perlu diperbaiki demi keselamatan semua.
ReplyDeleteharap keadaan jalan tersebut akan dibaiki demi keselamatan pengguna.
ReplyDeletePenutup itu wajar dibaiki segera.
ReplyDeleteBetulkah sehingga 8 inci?? Pasanglah penanda ditempat tersebut. Beritahu jalan tidak rata. Maka dapat juga pengguna nampak jalan tersebut. Kalau setakat spray tidak ada guna juga.
ReplyDeleteJadi tindakkan perlu diambil untuk memastikan keselamatan pengguna.
ReplyDeletesaya rasa baik DAP letak tiang atau apa2 benda yang boleh dilihat dari jauh. kalau setakat spray kuning, saya tidak yakin semua pemandu boleh lihat tanda itu.
