“In the past, they have to wait at the T-junction, at times for as long as 15 minutes as vehicles coming out from the other side were moving too fast and timid drivers tend to be stuck there. This has caused a lot of anguish to road users daily, numbering about 10,000 daily. The kampung folks has appealed for a traffic light to be installed and today, their request has been fulfilled,”said Lo.

He said with the traffic light installed and working, this will help ease the long traffic queue during peak hrs in the morning and evening when they return from work

On the road from Mile 10, Kuching Serian, Lo pointed out that he was most unhappy with the delay in the road maintenance work. He said there were a big portion where the three lanes become two lanes and at certain area, only one lane was placed in use causing massive traffic jams.

He said despite, the traffic light at Mile 7 being energized, the traffic jam is still as bad due to the incomplete road maintainence. He said the council is working with JKR to improve the situation and they are working on traffic light timing to be lengthen for the routes where there are more vehicles on the road.

Lo assured the public that he will monitor the work progress and pressured the contractors to complete it fast. He thanked the public for their understanding and patience.
