Nerve racking junction at PJU 1A/46
Source: the Sun 23 Nov
I GET anxious every time it’s my turn to move at the t-junction on Jalan PJU 1a/46, that connects Kelana Jaya, Ara Damansara and Subang, located between Symphony House Bhd and the RapidKL headquarters. Although it is obvious that priority has to be given to those turning from the main road, this is impossible since the other four directions need to wait for a ridiculous amount of time, and sometimes a little give and take could make the traffic even worse.
A few times last month, traffic police were seen directing traffic, but since then, they are no more in sight and the congestion goes on as usual. What is more worrying is that primary school children from SK PPR Lembah Subang who walk to and from school use the same road. Is the Petaling Jaya City Council waiting for a child to be hit before traffic lights are put up? Why can’t a bridge be built behind the school that connects to the PPR flats so that children can walk safely to and from there? I don’t have a child but I think this is public awareness. It is not hard to notice the poor system.
I just hope the needful can be done quickly. Please do something

I fully agree with you, Nurul Shuhadah. I have requested for this to be carried out way back in early 2009, when MBPJ commissioned a traffic consultant to conduct a study on the Taman Megah Mas underpass and the FAS underpass. It was therefore included in the final report that a signalised (traffic light) junction be implemented at the intersection of Jalan PJU 1A/4 nd Jalan Lembah Subang, by year end-2010.
It is rather sad that until today MBPJ has still refused to install the traffic lights junction. When I check on this matter early this year, I was told that they could not get a contractor to install the traffic lights! Ridiculous! But then no tender was called for the installation of the traffic lights! Then I was told that MBPJ is trying to get Prasarana to install the traffic lights… And then it was some developers? Now I’m not sure who is going to do it!
Guess we need pressure groups to get things done in this country.
