Three contra-flow lanes to be added in Kuala Lumpur from July 3 in a bid to ease traffic congestion – Loke
The transport ministry has announced that it has agreed with Kuala Lumpur city hall’s proposal to implement contra-flow lanes at three locations in KL from July 3 to ease traffic congestion.
The second is an extension of an existing contra-flow lane southbound from Jalan Maharajalela to Taman Connaught to a four km stretch. Like with the Sg. Besi-Besraya contra-flow route, the lane will be open to all private vehicles except motorcycles. Loke said the contra-flow lanes would be activated during peak traffic hours from 6 am to 9 am and from 5 pm to 7 pm. There will be no structural changes in the implementation of the contra-flow lanes, with cones being used along the route to mark the designated lanes.
The minister acknowledged that these measures were a short-term fix, what with at least six million cars moving around within the Kuala Lumpur area on a daily basis, not including surrounding areas such as Petaling Jaya.
