Council authorises new U-turn to help ease congestion along Jalan Kemajuan

A NEW U-turn has recently been opened along Jalan Kemajuan Subang in Subang Jaya to ease the congestion at the Kemajuan-Jengka junction just in front of Subang Parade.
The U-turn sparked debate in the SJ alert community forum, with some motorists saying that it is dangerous because cars would turn directly into the fast lane while many SS17 residents supported the opening because they no longer have to wait at the traffic light at the Persiaran Jengka junction.
Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh said that the U-turn was opened up to ease congestion caused by the ongoing LRT construction works.
“I have requested for MPSJ (Subang Jaya Municipal Council) to increase the number of signages and add traffic marking on the road so that motorists will be more aware of the U-turn,” she said.
MPSJ councillor Rajiv Rishyakaran said that the U-turn has helped to reduce the number of cars at the junction by allowing cars wanting to get into SS17 to make the turn earlier.
Rajiv said that the congestion at the Kemajuan-Jengka junction is expected to worsen because there will be piling works done at the junction and the U-turn was necessary to decrease congestion.
“The U-turn was opened to facilitate the LRT construction works and we will look into making it permanent after the construction works are completed,” he said.
