CORONAVIRUS | Those making bank visits and grocery runs could also be contributing to rise in vehicles on the road.
| Police do not rule of the possibility that an increase in traffic of late is due to additional sectors being allowed to operate during the movement control order period.
Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director Azisman Alias said police believe the increase in traffic flow during peak hours is between 12 and 15 percent in urban areas.“The increase could also be due to bank visits and those replenishing grocery items,” he toldMeanwhile, he said there are still those who were disobeying MCO directives, and those on duty at roadblocks have been directed to conduct detailed checks on motorists.
"We will conduct thorough checks on motorists although this may be time-consuming and lead to slower traffic flow. "Nevertheless, many are also producing letters and documents from their employers for them to go about their official affairs during the MCO,” he said."If the people want this pandemic to be over soon, stay at home unless you have very important matters. Obey the directives and laws,” he added.
