怡保路分界堤加长工程竣工,舒缓交通与安全

民政党峇都区部早前走访了怡保路4英里半，巡视当地已经完成的加长分界堤工程，以避免许多车辆在错误的U转处U转。

峇都区民政党服务中心协调员刘华才博士指出，他们是11月份接获当地商家的投诉，指当地的道路有一处被误为U转处，导致许多车辆都在该处U转，不仅造成交通阻塞，而且许多车辆在U转时几乎要撞到附近的店面，对商店构成危险。其实正确的U转处是在较前端，但却没有清楚的告示牌，导致许多驾驶者都不晓得，唯有继续使用该处进行U转。

"在接获投诉后，我们将就此事向吉隆坡市政局反映，并要求当局加长分界堤，而隆市政局也将之列入工作行程，如期地将有关工程完成。另外，隆市政局也清楚地竖立U转的告示牌，让驾驶者晓得须驶到较前端的正确U转处才进行U转。我想强调的是，通过居民们的反映和我们的积极跟进，才能让这项工程顺利的完成。"刘华才表示。    

刘华才博士也补充，民政党将持续服务峇都国会选区的居民，并解决他们的民生问题和提高他们的生活素质。

Road divider project in Jalan Ipoh is completed

Dr. Dominic Lau: traffic becomes smoother and safer

Press statement by Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator

Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai

2 January 2013

            Gerakan Batu Division had earlier paid a visit to Batu 4½, Jalan Ipoh to inspect the recently completed road divider extension project; it is built to stop the vehicles from making the U-turn at the wrong U-turn point.

            Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai pointed out that they received complaints from the local businessmen who said that one particular section of the local road has been mistaken as a U-turn prompting many vehicles to make illegal U-turns at that point, apart from causing traffic congestion; it also posed a danger to the shops nearby. In fact, the correct U-turn point is located further up ahead, but there was not a clear signboard put in place which led to many motorists unaware and therefore kept on using the same U-turn point.

            "As soon as the complaints were received, we immediately reflected the matter to the DBKL and asked the authority to extend the road divider, while the DBKL also put it into its working list and completed the project as scheduled. Besides, DBKL also erected a clear U-turn signboard so that the motorists are well-informed that the correct U-turn point is located further up ahead on the road in order for them to make a correct U-turn. I wish to stress here that only through the reflection from the residents as well as our follow-up, this project can be successfully completed," said Dr. Dominic Lau.

            Dr. Dominic Lau also added that Gerakan will continue to serve the residents of Batu parliamentary constituency, solve their livelihood problems and improve their quality of life.
