But, while there are improvements that can be made, he should note what the OCPD said. If the project is only fully complete at the end of 2016, is it fair to use 2015 and 2016 statistics to measure the effectiveness of the loop?
But let's look a little bit more into it.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zani Che Din said based on police reports lodged in 2015, there were 479 collisions reported along the loop and the number rose to 548 last year.

“From January to November this year, our traffic division received 431 reports on accidents, which is an average of 40 cases a month.
So, in 2017, there is a marked downturn and even if you add in another 40 to make it 471 for the year, it's lower than 2016 and 2015. Perhaps now that the loop has been completed and people are getting used to the system, things are getting better? Plus, what are the stats from previous years? And I also think there hasn't been a death case this year as there wasn't a stat given, which is better than past two years as well.

“We have also noted a number of public complaints where people beat the traffic lights in front of Tenaga Nasional Bhd building, exiting Jalan Yong Shook Lin into Jalan Selangor at high speeds and weaving of vehicles in Jalan Timur and Jalan Sultan,” he said.

ACP Mohd Din said some drivers suffer from a “fast and furious” mentality especially since there were no traffic lights, which result in motorists speeding in free flow traffic.
Whatever loop you put, you can't account for idiocy of the drivers.
