QUESTION:
YANG BERHORMAT AWANG HAJI DAUD BIN JIHAN asked the MINISTER OF DEVELOPMENT to state whether there are plans to address the very dangerous traffic conditions, particularly around the Muara-Tutong Highway, at the U-Turn leading to the Tanah Jambu Vocational School?
YANG BERHORMAT MINISTER OF DEVELOPMENT​
ANSWER:
Thank you, Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua, and thank you to Yang Berhormat Awang Haji Daud bin Jihan for the question raised concerning the traffic conditions in the Muara-Tutong Highway area, specifically at the U-turn leading to Tanah Jambu Vocational School.
For your information, the Ministry of Development through the Department of Roads has planned and implemented several initiatives to enhance road safety in the area.
Among them, the construction work of an overpass crossing the Muara-Tutong Highway near the Tanjung Kajar Industrial Site is underway and is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2026. Once completed, the existing U-turn will be closed and the traffic flow will be redirected through the overpass for a safer and more organized route.
While awaiting the completion of the project, several safety control measures have been implemented. These include the installation of "rumble strip" yellow lines and "SLOW DOWN" road signs to reduce vehicle speed and increase the alertness of road users when approaching the area.
According to records from 2022 to 2024, only two (2) self-accident incidents have been recorded at this location, which did not involve injuries and only caused minor damage to public infrastructure such as road barriers.
The Ministry will monitor this area from time to time and adjust the appropriate safety measures as needed.
Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua. That is the answer Kaola can provide in response to the question from Yang Berhormat Awang Haji Daud bin Jihan. Thank you.
