11/01/2002 - We
understand from MPSJ Councilor Mr Yap Yun Fatt that the present U-Turn
located at the entrance of USJ 23/5A will be sealed once the trumpet
flyover is fully operational.
Residents would have to make a U-Turn back to USJ23 further down
the main road, near
USJ26. And for those who want to drive to USJ 24, 26, 27 or Putra Heights
from USJ23, you will have to travel along the main LDP road and do a U-Turn at
USJ21 (what is known as Taipan 2).
We
requested for and reminded the authorities that a U-Turn under the trumpet
flyover would be needed, back in February 2001, but do they ever listen?
Hopefully,
when this set of events come to pass, stubborn USJ23 residents who
deliberately drive against traffic when going toward the USJ24 direction
from USJ23, will stop their dangerous practice.
Oh, yes and they
will have no more excuses to say that they are doing so because USJ 23/5A
is barricaded, since there will no longer be a turn.
Hey, I
just thought of something, maybe those who until today continue to grumble
about the closure of USJ 23/5A, using the U-Turn as an excuse, should
stand up and get the authorities to keep the turn open, after all it is
for their own personal benefit.
On a more serious note, the turn has to be
sealed immediately since the authorities have put up a large sign board
indicating the direction to Putra Heights which should result in increased
traffic, and the possibility of a serious accident taking place at the
junction becomes reality. |
