After receiving feedback from road users on the
road safety at Lebuh Puteri, our consultant had
conducted a Road Safety Audit proposing some traffic
improvement measures, which is to improve the traffic
flow along the main 100' road in Bandar Puteri.
The audit was commissioned in 2006 and thereafter
submitted to MPSJ. MPSJ has approved the proposal
and the implementation of the approved proposed
measures has already commenced. Amongst the upgrading
works to improve the traffic flow are:
1 Incorporate traffic lights at the T junction
of Lebuh Puteri & Persiaran Puteri
2 Upgrade the junction of Lebuh Puteri & Laman
Puteri 2 (leading into Banyan 2 area)
3 Install transverse bars at some long stretches
along the road at Lebuh Puteri
a) as you go along Lebuh Puteri from Puteri Avenue
(beside Ixora)
b) as you go along Lebuh Puteri from Giant (after
Columbia Asia Medical Centre and before Puteri
8)
4 Widening of some major junctions
(a) of Lebuh Puteri & Persiaran Puteri
(b) into Laman Puteri 2 (Banyan 2)
5 Lower down the shrubs at the median to further
improve traffic visibility for road users
Refer to Upgrading Works for further information.
Currently, further improvement study by our traffic
consultant and MPSJ is being carried out on other
areas along the main 100' road such as Puteri 7.
In our efforts to further improve traffic management,
we are constructing a flyover to bypass existing
traffic lights in front of Giant. The flyover is
expected to improve traffic flow to both the commercial
and residential areas of Bandar Puteri. The construction
will include road widening and relocation of drains
and traffic lights as well. Details are as follows:-
a) the entire length of flyover is about 400m
b) the flyover road level is up to maximum of
about 7.7m from road levels
c) maximum clearance of about 5.5m from the flyover
beam soffit
d) "U-turns" for light vehicles from
both side of the road before reaching the traffic
light (beneath the flyover)
e) upon completion, there will be two lanes on
the flyover and two lanes beneath it for each
direction. Please
f) some lanes each on both directions will be
closed to facilitate the construction works. Refer
to Part
Closure of Lebuh Puteri for updates.
g) the construction of a flyover is targeted for
completion in April 2008
