during the 2000 and 2010s, actually CS is quite important to commuters before the larger malls are built.

In fact, these days, if the merlions dont want to travel far but only day trip, CS is still the go-to place. Convenient for them.

If you see the picture, the actual exit only 2.

One from the top left, and another from the lower middle right.

Yeah, the car park got a few exit points but the actual road out of the vicinity is practically only 2.

The one on the top left, will kena block if EDL jam or the exit to bakar batu is jammed (which happen frequently enough)

The lower middle right exit, is slightly better as it got path to leave EDL section. But there is a not very big traffic light intersection there.

This MV very easy gridlock.

Paradigm problem good is it exits to one of the biggest road in JB and the entry/exit is separate. But if got problem, those inside the car park will kena teruk

even the map doesnt show how the traffice will slow down. Elevated path, then zoom down to P1 level, then return to ground level.

The one design the road very smart but ignore driver conditions.

The upper left road is actually a flyover into southkey.

I think they need an extra exit flyover further away. To avoid bakar batu/edl combo jam.

I forget there is a small exit to the north of EDL. But this one will be a difficult exit if bakar batu traffic volume is high.

Coming soon, the roundabout on the left of the map, will open to another side of the southkey area. It should elevate the jam a bit but those seeking for a quick path to bakar batu and edl wont be benefited much.

Both actually. If Jln Skudai too jam, paradigm mall ppl either take the taman road to escape or jam into jln skudai. But because the car park design is not very good, the jam is more likely to be internal during peak hours.

If come from JB side, then the flyover into paradigm mall is famous for jam due to the volume enter, even if jln skudai is not jam.

sana go find ghost senang la.

Not sure o. Long time didnt go paradigm after MV open.

Cause paradigm wasnt that great last time when KSL is the better place.

this one is to the multi storied parking. direct access to the shopping floor but limited in spaces.

I think during covid era, also the starting year of the mall, the parking there is free on certain days and times but need to scan card to enter.

but i dont like to park there. macam parking in singapore car park.

More like they are too lazy to do it.

Try tell them their KPI is tied to money collected, then we might see something different.

Kind of. Since they exit SG to EDL directly, it is the most logical way that they will enter MV directly when they exit EDL to the elevated circle lanes, into gate 4. Cause gate 4 is not on the ground level. (there is a lane that go to the basement parking at the same EDL exit mentioned here which is nearer than gate 4, but i guess SG ppl prefer to see sky).

But then, during weekend, it is also very likely to see 4 to 5 sg plats, out of 10 in basement parking.3

Open space parking that is not connected to the mall. Usually only see tourist bus in it.

not really cause i will always come from the east side of the jb. This route is more applicable for those staying in Sutera Utama and TUTA side only. Kempas side not benefited from tis.

Southkey might have that kind of space for additional flyovers.

Paradigm mall might be harder. In the first place, paradigm mall design and layout was planned decades ago before it stop for years.

you mean the kampung area directly to the north of MV right? MV probably doesnt want kg ppl to flood its road.

Wont be cheap. the first 4km land from city center or causeway, is already pretty much full. Expanding to 6km to 10km, these area are considered premium now.

Technically, it should be considered as urban area. haha

I guess if MV wants to keep their land price high. lol.

Permas bridge used to be one bridge only. 2lanes - one lane in, one lane out.

Then upgrade, build another bridge. The existing bridge towards permas is the older of the two.

So become 4 lanes. But what happen is the Bakar batu junction problem was never fully resolved.

During the dinosaur year, coming from southkey direction, the traffic needs to passby that jalan pantai, basically cross a bit into the village, and exit at the current entrance into bakar batu. This created massive jam.

Then after they redevelop the whole junction to the current form, another 2 problems occurs. That cacat cross juction that looks like 2 T junction kissing each other.

From permas, exiting the road without going up to EDL or coming from town, all bottle neck in that bloody junction. So again, the bridge jam.

They should have create another flyover ease the traffic to EDL/PLUS north. But somehow the authority in JB is big with creating junctions and traffic light. Totally ridiculous.

Same like what happen at the current EDL exit to JB near the immigration for vehicles. Totally ridiculous jam.

This road is very dangerous. It is essentially kampung road with better tar.

yup

KOMTAR design is totally fail. I think it will thrive even it didnt renovate last tme.

From the west side, AEON Bukit Indah is the nearest mall to residential areas mostly populated by ppl work or related to sg, and the 2nd link. Cukup la untuk orang2 yg malas jam.
