FRIDAY-14 MARCH 2008- SERIOUS TRAFFIC OBSTRUCTION AT TAMAN SOUTHERN

Serious traffic obstruction at Taman Southern

A resident of Taman Southern in Luyang has again urged action to be taken to stop inconsiderate motorists from causing obstruction by parking their vehicles along the roadside leading to the housing estate. Joe said the obstruction along the stretch of road from Lorong Unta 9 to Lorong Unta 14 is causing much inconvenience as it leaves the two-lane road only passable to one car at a time. The narrowed passage forces motorists to give way to oncoming vehicles on the road designed for two-way traffic flow, he said. Joe said the lack of action to prohibit such practice has only encouraged an increasing number of motorists to park that way and cause inconvenience to others. A spokesman for Kota Kinabalu City Hall’s Public Complaints Unit, when asked to comment on the matter, said those causing obstruction to others could be summoned. He said the enforcement unit would be informed as a similar complaint on the matter was already received previously.
