i just try this road but i don't think it change anything nor helping local or ease much traffic.
this look like "WANT" more than "Need" project.
key questions, who want it (definitely not local)?
This road is more like "Fix" than "solution" with 2 u-turn in 3Km ?
For ayer item ppl:
if they going to relau/sg ara/airport/mainlands, this won't use this new road. (but cause of new road, now all user must do 1 U-turn)
if only they plan to go balik pulau (yes going balik pulau only).
For relau/sungai ara/bayan baru/bayan lepas ppl:
There is no reason for them to use this road at all.
For balik pulau ppl:
if coming back from paya terubong to balik pulau yes.
if they going to paya terubong or relau/bayan lepas/ they will not use this road.
for bukit jambul residence (how many of them) ?
they have the most benefit to go/back paya/ayer itam/balik pulau.
for now i don't see much benefit others than ease up paya terubong, tun sardon junctions (
but i think other alternative is much cheaper n efficient ....
Which kind of alternative you referring to? Digging tunnel through the hill or use a plane to fly over the hill?
Not sure whether you are frequent "hill road" (from relau to paya terubong) user, but if you do, you should notice whenever there are a bus/truck slowly going uphill, people will need to risk their life to overtake or just follow it behind slowly with 20 or 30km/h, and then a minor accident there will leads to standstill traffic for hours... its even more fuck up if its a rainy day.
this road is good for dispersing the traffic there, else you have to take a big turn through jalan bukit gambir > greenlane >ayer itam > paya terubong (insanely big turn) when shit happen which occurs like almost every week.
If you ask who want it? im one of it. Dont be selfish, just because you didnt need it, then you assume everyone wont be using it?
