Why so jam?

Why so jam everyday? Erroneous roadsigns is undoubtly one of the culprits in the city's flawed road transport. This is one of the signs which might have misled road users towards wrong directions and eventually into massive traffic jams.


Ipoh... so left or right?
A motorist dilemma.

I would rather follow my instincts instead of roadsigns sometimes. So left or right? Confused?
This is real message the sign conveys....



So if you turn left, you would not need to pay toll but there will definitely be a jam at peak hours. If you take the route on the right, it will lead you to the highway in which you need to pay RM 2.50 extra. And if you are not travelling during the peak hours, you would be wasting your money to pay the RM 2.50 toll.

But still, the best way to Ipoh is neither left or right! The fastest and cheapest way to Ipoh from this junction in front of the Kuala Lumpur mosques is to go backwards to where you came from towards north to Sg. Buloh through Segambut. Road signs are all but helping motorists.

It's like you are in a scenario when you are right in front of a toilet when you ask a stranger for directions to a toilet. Instead of telling you that the toilet is right behind you, the stranger gave you two options, two toilets which are located 2 miles away from where you are. And by the time you reach one of the toilets, you probably wet your pants already.
