It is no surprise to observe numerous stretches of road throughout the country become heavily congested especially at the main roads connecting several schools after the start of the school term. An example of such congestion could be seen along Jln Mulaut-Kilanas in the afternoon just after the close of the morning school session.

Elsewhere, this hectic situation had proven costly after an unnecessary accident took place Tuesday afternoon at a road near Chung Hwa Secondary School in the Capital.

According to informed sources, the accident involving three saloon cars occurred when the rearmost car unexpectedly ran into the stationary car in front of it, which caused it to hit the third car in a domino effect.

No injury was reported in this incident, which apparently further aggravated the level of traffic congestion in the area.

Motorists particularly the parents who fetch their kids from school are advised to drive carefully and to compromise wherever possible in the event of heavy traffic congestion.
