LITRAK INTRODUCES CONTRA FLOW ON LDP IN PUCHONG

TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW

LITRAK will be introducing yet another traffic management scheme on the

South bound direction towards Putrajaya between the stretch right from the
Petaling Jaya Selatan Toll Plaza and Bandar Puchong Jaya (KM 19.3 to KM
22) from next week.

The Contra-flow traffic scheme being introduced in collaboration with the

Traffic Police, is not new to people in the Klang Valley but this will be the
first time that LDP road users in Puchong will experience it.

The Contra-flow system starts right from the Petaling Jaya Selatan Toll
Plaza towards Puchong. Highway users heading towards Puchong Perdana
and Putrajaya will be required to enter the lane which is located on the
extreme right of the toll plaza. The dedicated lane for the contra flow is
meant for light vehicles only.

The Highway Ronda team will be stationed at strategic locations and users
are advised to adhere to the signages erected along the stretch to guide roads
users.

The Contra-flow, aimed at improving the traffic flow on the south bound
direction towards Putrajaya will involve the complete closure of the fly-over
in the opposite direction towards Sunway/Kesas at Puchong Jaya
Interchange to make way for additional lane to Puchong Perdana / Putrajaya
– bound traffic. Thus, highway users from Puchong towards
Sunway/Kesas/Federal Highway are advised to keep to the most left lanes
and use the slip road right after IOI Mall.
The contra-flow will be in effect daily from 4.30 pm-8.30 pm (Monday –
Friday except Public holiday) from 8 March 2010.

Speaking to reporters during the Press Conference to announce the contra-

flow traffic, LITRAK Chief Executive Officer Sazally Saidi said the effort
involves extensive preparation and dispensation of huge number of
manpower on site.

“We have been studying this option for months now and theoretically the
contra-flow should work based on the studies. We are certain that with
additional lanes provided for the Puchong Perdana /Putrajaya bound traffic,
the traffic flow in Puchong will improve,” he said.

He said as in any new traffic scheme, there could be minor hiccups as roads
users will need a few days to get accustomed to the system.

“To a large extent, we will have to depend on the road users to be vigilant,
adhere to signs posted and be at the correct lanes according to their
destination for this system to work entirely,” he said.

Sazally said the contra-flow traffic system will begin on 8 March

(Monday), 2010 from 4.30pm.
