Traffic problem merely diverted to another area
I REFER to your story “Caught unawares — Taman Megah Mas side of tunnel is now a one-way street”.
Converting the tunnel to one way is not a solution. The traffic is now diverted to the new FAS tunnel which also leads to the new residential area.
The authorities are just diverting the problem to another area. Ever since the old tunnel was converted to one-way, the whole stretch of road from the FAS tunnel to Jalan PJU1A/46 (cross junction) has become congested with a long queue during peak hours.
Another problem is that many roads in Taman Mayang and Taman Mayang Mas have been closed to the public.
What if residents in the FAS tunnel area complain about the congestion in their residential area? Will the authorities close the FAS tunnel, too, or convert it into one way?
Also, there are many potholes along the FAS tunnel but nothing has been done. The authorities take ages to mend potholes in Petaling Jaya.
The authorities should come and look at the traffic during peak hours. Many motorists and motorcyclists sending their children to SMK Lembah Subang are at risk, especially at the cross junction.
