PKR Sabah has received a lot
of complains lately with regards to the traffic congestion and poor road traffic planning along Jalan Duta
(Bundusan) Penampang. PKR Sabah
Secretary - Dr Roland Chia revealed today.
Residents and Business operators have complained on the
traffic congestion at the roundabout of the inter link between Jalan Duta
(Bundusan Road) and Jalan Penampang Lama.
This congestion is worst
especially during the rush hours when parents send their children to
schools. The schools are SK Bahang, SMK
Bahang 1, SRJK Yue Min, SK St Anthony and SMK Taman Tun Fuad and also
surrounded by a dense population of residential and industrial areas.
The local authorities must
quickly look into alternatives to alleviate the problems with the possibility
of installing traffic lights instead of roundabouts if the latter does not
seemed to solve the traffic congestion.
One of the complainants who
is a young mother – a resident of Taman
Penampang has difficulty using the round about in view of the heavy traffic and
also frustrating drivers who drives furiously and in high speed around the
roundabout.
On many occasions, road
traffic accidents occurred and resulted in her unable to send her children to
school on time. Such high occurrence of road traffic accidents does not also
augur well with the residents living there as it will pose a hazard to the
surrounding areas.
