KUALA LUMPUR: Motorists with no urgent travel needs should give way to essential workers and stay off the roads during rush hour during the movement control order (MCO) period, says Bukit Aman.
Federal Traffic Investigation and Enforcement director Deputy Comm Datuk Azisman Alias said rush hour traffic still happens during the MCO, as more workers in essential services head to work.He said those going out to run minor errands are among contributors to the congestion and advised them to postpone running such errands until after the rush hour.
DCP Azisman said police are also doing more detailed checks to ensure the MCO is properly enforced and crime is under control. However, he added situations can turn sour at MCO roadblocks if motorists do not cooperate with police. DCP Azisman also said police identified 16 top hotspots in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Melaka and Johor, where traffic congestion can reach up to 2km long.Up until April 14, police recorded 10,382 accidents, out of which 130 were fatal with 145 deaths.
