Pasang lampu isyarat terlalu banyak

Dari Sinar Harian tarikh May 7, 2010

PUCHONG – Kebimbangan pemilik kedai dan penduduk berhampiran berhubung pembinaan terlalu banyak lampu isyarat berdekatan Jalan 2/21, dekat sini dipandang serius Ahli Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) kawasan itu.

Tan Jo Hann berkata, pihaknya dimaklumkan persimpangan lampu isyarat itu dibina berikutan menerima aduan terlalu banyak kemalangan memandangkan ia jalan utama menghantar anak di empat sekolah berhampiran.

Beliau berkata, bagaimanapun pihaknya agak terkejut dengan pelan pembinaan lampu isyarat itu termasuk kedudukannya yang dikatakan terlalu hampir dengan sebuah restoran, dekat sini.

“Kita akan melihat sistem ini apabila ia mula berfungsi kelak, sama ada sempurna atau sebaliknya.

“Jika tidak betul, mungkin pengubahsuaian akan dijalankan untuk kemudahan dan keselesaan semua pihak,” katanya dalam satu sidang media, di sini.

Jo Hann berkata, penduduk tidak perlu bimbang, malah pandangan mereka juga akan diambil kira dan dipertimbangkan.

“Saya juga akan berjumpa pemaju membincangkan masalah lampu isyarat itu dalam masa terdekat ini.

“Selepas segalanya sudah selesai, baru lampu isyarat itu akan diuji,” katanya.

Sementara itu, beberapa penduduk dan pengusaha kedai berhampiran bimbang berikutan lampu isyarat yang didakwa dibina terlalu hampir dengan bangunan komersil itu.

Wakil pekedai yang enggan dikenali berkata, akan timbul masalah tempat meletakkan kenderaan selepas lampu isyarat itu berfungsi kelak.

“Saya lihat terlalu banyak lampu isyarat seolah-olah jalan di sini terlalu sibuk sedangkan ia hanya sesak pada waktu sekolah sahaja.

“Malah, lampu isyarat berhampiran kedai dirasakan tidak perlu kerana hanya akan menimbulkan kesesakan sahaja nanti,” katanya.

Beberapa penjaja di jalan berkenaan juga menyatakan kerisauan sama ada mereka akan diarahkan berpindah apabila lampu isyarat itu berfungsi kelak.

“Ada di antara kami sudah berniaga bertahun dan mempunyai pelanggan sendiri, sekiranya berpindah, ke mana lokasi sesuai.

“Kami juga bimbang kehilangan pelanggan sekiranya diarah berpindah ke lokasi lain,” katanya

Traffic Light Installed At T-Junction of Persiaran Wawasan-Jalan Wawasan 2/23

Traffic light was installed at T-junction of Persiaran Wawasan-Jalan Wawasan 2/23 to better manage traffic flow during peak hours. This is because traffic gridlock becomes more apparent during morning school hours, around noon time and evening after school hours.

Councillor Tan Jo Hann together with several JKP and MPSJ engineering staff members met members of the press to explain about the junction traffic lights at the corner of Pesiaran Indera & wawasan 2/23 . The site inspection the newly installed lights which was set up in order to regulate the traffic flow at the junction because it was observed that an unregulated junction was quite hazardous and have been creating traffic flow problems for that area.

The site visit found several issues which needed more attention and will be brought up in a special meeting between MPSJ and SP setia who was responsible for the installation of the lights as part of their infrastructure contribution to the area.

Councillor Tan wanted to assure the residents that this system will be carefully studied and amended if necessary, and finally a trial run will be carried out to see if the lights are serving its function. This is all done in close consultation with representatives from the local communities, the MPSJ and SP setia.

The councilor, JKP Zone 16 and the press were at the site today 27 April 2010. Pictures below:

Traffic Light Update II: Persiaran Wawasan/Persiaran Indera junction

Dengan sukacitanya kami ingin maklumkan bahawa pada pagi 12 Nov 2009, lampu trafik di persimpangan Persiaran Wawasan/Persiaran Indera telah mula beroperasi.

Kita berharap bahawa jumlah kes "near-miss" dan kemalangan dapat dikurangkan di simpang tersebut.

Lampu trafik ini adalah sumbangan daripada pemaju SP Setia (terima kasih!). Akan tetapi operasi lampu trafik ini tertunda oleh kerana perihal masalah teknikal di antara pemaju dan TNB, yang sepatutnya membekalkan saluran elektrik.

Sehubungan dengan itu, JKP 16 telah membuat kerja "follow-up" yang persisten dengan jabatan kejureteraan MPSJ, dan akhirnya lampu isyarat ini mula beroperasi.

New Traffic Light : Persiaran Wawasan/Persiaran Indera Junction

With the opening of the new link road between Pusat Bandar Puchong and Bandar Puchong Jaya, we have see an increased number of traffic volume at Persiaran Wawasan and Persiaran Indera. Consequently, the 'T' junction at Persiaran Wawasan/Persiaran Indera (near the Wawasan Park)has become busier. Also, this does not help when more and more residents use Persiaran Wawasan and Persiaran Indera to travel between Bandar Puteri, Pusat Bandar Puchong and Bandar Puchong Jaya. In addition to several near-misses, there were several accidents happened at this junction especially during morning and evening rush hours.

The problem became exacerbated when some impatient and reckless drivers do not want to give way and this has resulted in numerous accidents. In the wake of the higher accident cases and mindful of residents' safety, JKP Zone 16 members have raised its concern to MPSJ and requested that a traffic light be installed at this junction. It is hoped that with a traffic light installed, the traffic flow will be more regulated thus minimising the number of accidents.

JKP 16 member was on site today to snap some pictures of ongoing work at this junction. The traffic lights holes have been dug and wiring work in progress.

More pictures to come later.
