Drivers Warned Of Accident-Prone Roads In Limbang
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Motorists from Brunei Darussalam, who go to Limbang for Hari Raya shopping, are advised to drive carefully at three accident-prone stretches which the Limbang Road Safety Council said have seen victims maimed and killed.

. The council identified the three accident-prone areas as at the sharp turns at the new Limbang Airport Road, Kampong Batu Bekarang and Kampong Sayong junction leading to the Limbang- Temburong border.

The advice was made by the council through pamphlets given to motorists early this week as part of a road safety campaign. The high-risk areas are part of the Trans-Borneo trunk road leading to Lawas and Sabah.

The Tedungan road which is used by motorists from Brunei Darussalam on their way to or return from Limbang is also named as accident-prone stretch that had seen horrific accidents in the past.

Motorists should reduce their speed when negotiating the Tedungan road as drivers may be unaware of roaming buffaloes on the road.

The council said it has taken precautionary measures in the high-risk stretches to create awareness for drivers such as putting up speed-limit signs and putting double lines on the road.

However, it is the road users themselves who must exercise care when negotiating accident-prone stretches. Over two million vehicles passed through Kuala Lurah checkpoint last year.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
