Hidden signs a threat to road safety
Hidden signs a threat to road safety, say drivers http://bit.ly/1JUr8Yv
Published: 16 June 2015 7:01 AM
Road signs plastered with advertisements may be an eyesore but for many drivers in the Petaling Jaya-Kuala Lumpur area, clearly visible signs are a matter of road safety, not aesthetics.
Especially on busy city roads, they say, it is difficult to drive when road signs are obscured by leaflets or untrimmed greenery.
…
Advertisements or leaflets stuck onto signboards is another concern for drivers, especially those who rely on road signs to navigate unfamiliar areas. In some cases, signs are completely covered over, making it impossible to decipher the words or symbols behind the ads.

Senior citizen crashes car into bank in Damansara Uptown
PETALING JAYA: An honest mistake sent the car of a 70-year-old man crashing into a bank in Damansara Uptown on Sunday evening, shattering glass panels before hitting a wall next to the bank’s ATMs.
Petaling Jaya traffic police chief Deputy Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif said that the man, a retired army officer, had just finished making a transaction at the CIMB bank along Jalan SS 21/35 at about 7.30pm.
The man got into his Perodua Kelisa, which was parked right in front of the bank, and intended to reverse and drive off.
“However, he didn’t realise that he had put the car in drive and thought he was pressing the brake when he had actually hit the accelerator,” DSP Mohamad Roy said.
The mistake sent the car zooming up the sidewalk and through the glass panels of the bank.
The car came to a stop after hitting a wall at the back of the bank.

MOTORISTS now enjoy a smooth ride along the newly tarred roads in Taman Len Sen and Bukit Anggerik, Cheras.
Bandar Tun Razak MCA chairman Datuk Chew Yin Keen said the resurfacing work on the 2km stretch connecting Jalan 4, Taman Len Sen, and Jalan 2/154, Bukit Anggerik, was completed about a week ago.
“Prior to the resurfacing project, this stretch was riddled with potholes and was uneven. Despite numerous complaints from the residents, there had been no action from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for the past 10 years.
“Following this, I contacted the DBKL Civil Engineering and Drainage Department, which is in charge of building and maintaining city roads, to resurface the entire stretch. After nine months, the resurfacing works have been completed and we commend DBKL on the work done,” Chew said during a visit.
DBKL Civil Engineering and Drainage Department civil engineer Hamdan Awang said the resurfacing project cost about RM600,000 and took two weeks to complete.

DBKL opens new storage area for towed vehicles
KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will come down hard on owners of abandoned vehicles in the city, especially those in housing areas.
Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said the vehicles would be towed away if DBKL received complaints about them from the public.
“Vehicles that are deemed unusable, such as those with missing tyres, will be towed away immediately.
“We will also reduce the duration of the grace period for serviceable vehicles before towing them away as they mar the image of the city and also take up parking spots,” he said, during the launch of the new towed vehicle storage depot in Jalan Galloway, Kuala Lumpur.
The depot operates 24 hours daily and it caters to towed vehicles from the city centre, especially the Bukit Bintang area.

Traffic flow in Petaling Jaya in mayhem as MBPJ implements the one-way loop traffic system October 12, 2014. Many condemn the move with claims of poor coordination and absent signage. — Pictures by Hari Anggara
PETALING JAYA, Oct 13 — The new one-way traffic loop system in Petaling Jaya which came into effect yesterday left many confused and frustrated.
Locals said the implementation of the three-month trial system which saw Jalan Utara, Jalan Timur, Jalan Barat and Jalan Sultan being turned into one-way traffic was poorly planned.
Communications consultant Karen Johnson said she was shocked to see traffic come to a standstill in Section 52 as early as 7am.
“It was a big mess. All roads were closed and there were no signages erected to indicate the exit and entry points.
“I had to make a huge turn just to get into Section 52 as most roads leading to the area were closed,” said the 41-year-old.
To make matters worse, Karen said the Nutrilite Colour Fun Run was also held at the affected areas yesterday.
“I saw motorists making illegal U-turns at junctions because many were confused with the road system.”

CHAOS BLAMED ON FUN RUN ORGANIZERS!

Chaotic weekend crawl as one-way loop system starts in Petaling Jaya
Massive traffic jam along Jalan Utara Sunday — the first day of the implementation of the one-way- loop system. In the afternoon, motorists were still spotted in both directions.
CHAOS ruled the streets of Petaling Jaya yesterday as the trial one-way-loop system came into effect at 12.01am.
A source from the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) said the problems began as early as 4am when the organisers of a fun run in Padang Timur were said to have moved the road barricades for the one-way system to accommodate the event, which attracted about 6,000 participants.
According to the source, much of the chaos faced on the road yesterday was caused by the irresponsible act.
Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Rishyakaran said if the allegations were true, the organiser of the event should be issued a hefty fine for causing such severe problems.
“From what I was told, the organisers were not given any approval to carry out the run on the road. However, they may have had permission to use the Padang Timur field.
“If the organisers moved the barricades placed by MBPJ, it is a serious offence and I hope the council comes down hard on them,” he said.
