MPSJ's committee for traffic and public transportation met last Friday. I had an endless among of issues to raise, but due to time constraints, we had to prioritize them. Some of the outcomes:

1. SS19 traffic light on Persiaran Tujuan will revent to 1 lane turning right from Persiaran Tujuan into SS19/6.

2. The constant jam due to cars on yellow box in from of Summit USJ traffic light. - MPSJ will call Kesas for a meeting, as Kesas operates the other traffic light. Both traffic lights needs to be in sync, to help reduce the jam, and the frustration of road users that lead to blocking the yellow boxes

3. Persiaran Tujuan traffic lights, which got new peak hour timings May 2009 - this peak hour timings which previously was from Monday to Friday will be extended to Saturday lunch hour also. No changes for Sunday.

4. Timing for traffic lights at J11, intersection between Persiaran Tujuan and Persiaran Kewajipan will be modified during evening peak hour, to give extra 30 secs for traffic heading into USJ from SS19. The right turn from USJ at this traffic light turning into Persiaran Murni will be reduced as well. This change applies only during evening peak hours.

5. Timing of traffic lights at Persiaran Setia/Persiaran Tujuan will be adjusted during the morning peak hours. Timing from Perisaran Tujuan heading out towards federal highway will increase by approx 20secs, to help clear the backlog around USJ12.

6. Traffic lights at TP1 housing area intersecting with Persiaran Setia may change to on demand only type, to prevent unnecessary green light cycles. Mr Keshmindar, councillor for TP areas, will consult with the residents before any implementation takes place.

A number of other issues, like optimizing the traffic light timings along Persiaran Bakti will be discussed in the coming meeting.
