ONGOING development along Jalan Putra Permai and the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) is expected to worsen the traffic condition at the Serdang interchange, which is already congested during peak hours.
According to traffic studies, traffic from the development projects is estimated to be 15,000 pcu/hr (vehicles per hour).
The residential and commercial units are expected to generate 8,000 and 7,000 vehicles per hour, respectively.
Pang Kon Shing, who lives in Kota Perdana, said heavy road usage and upcoming developments were the contributing factors for traffic jams at the interchange.
“Nowadays, the congestions begins even before 7am.
“I saw a sign near the Taman Equine Jusco stating that a hypermarket would be built there. I also heard that another hypermarket is expected to build a branch here as well. These will definitely cause more congestion.
“I hope that the roads can be widened to accommodate more traffic,” the 52-year-old machine operator said.
Pinggiran Putra resident David Santana, who frequently uses the interchange when travelling to Putrajaya, Puchong and Kajang, said overdevelopment was among the causes for the traffic congestion.
“There’s too much development going on in the area and the roads are too narrow.
“During peak hours, the interchange will be choked up and the queue can stretch for up to 1km,
“Impatient motorists who try to cut the queue only add to the mess,” the 41-year-old businessman said.
