Community Urged To Abide By Road Regulations
By RDN

Bandar Seri Begawan - Traffic congestion during school and office hours have long posed a major headache to road users in the Sultanate especially during lunch time when parents rush to either send or fetch their children from school.

The Police Traffic department has made every effort to help smoothen the flow of traffic by dispatching their police traffic personnel to every congested school area despite whatever weather conditions. While such efforts are appreciated, cooperation from the public is also needed to control the traffic congestion.

Although certain reasonable facts are acceptable such as having limited parking or space in the vicinity of the institution, violation of road regulations and laws should not be an alternative option for these road users.

Unfortunately, we can still see motorists in the heart of the capital near the vicinity of several private schools using these 'prohibited' areas as a waiting spot for dropping and picking up students whilst ignoring the warnings displayed on the roads or the 'no parking' signs and cones erected along the sides of the road by police officers thus increasing the ever-worsening situation of the traffic congestion. This situation not only occurs in the capital but in various areas around the country as well.

It is hoped that the public will cooperate in the efforts to minimise the flow of traffic along educational institutions and office buildings.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
