Jalan Gombak Now More Dangerous


This U Turn is in front of Ong Tai Kim. No traffic lights. Be careful when approaching this stretch when cars may suddenly slow down to turn.

When the road expansion plan came, I thought it would be good. And it should be, since the widened road will translate into less congestions. But if you were to take a drive from the Ong Tai Kim supermarket till Jalan Pahang tunnel, you will see that there are so many U-turns along the way. Some of these U-turns are next traffic lights, hence making them safer, but many are just random turns. With a bigger road and speeding vehicles, one of these days, some nasty accident is going to happen anwaywhere between Batu 5 and Chong Hwa. Lorries, too, which supply goods to the shops on one side of the road had to use the U Turns to return.
Now, they are working on Jalan Pahang. I hope there wont be as many U-turns there as there have been in Gombak.
