Call For An Overhead Bridge
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Members of the public are calling for a construction of an overhead bridge for pedestrians at a traffic light junction near Chung Hwa Middle School in the capital.

With over one thousand students in the largest Chinese school in the Sultanate, parents have to send and pick up their children from the school, crossing the traffic lights. Many children also have to make their own way across to the parking lot near the Royal Regalia.

According to one of the parents, Mohd Rafe, he said: "A overhead bridge will be a good idea. Everyday, the area is so congested with traffic and people crossing the road. A overhead bridge will not only ease the traffic flow but also help pedestrians and the children to cross over the other side safely."

Another parent, Ah Guan, said: "With an overhead bridge here, parents can park at the parking lot opposite the Royal Regalia to send their children to school, therefore easing the traffic congestion."

"We hope that the relevant authorities would help us to provide a overhead bridge for the safety of our children," he added.

The call for an overhead pedestrian bridge at the area was also proposed by Pehin Dato Paduka Gob King Chin during the Legislative Council last year. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
