I CAN understand the need to regulate parking in commercial areas but why are some residential areas such as Section 11 Petaling Jaya opposite University Malaya Medical Centre gazetted as No Parking Zones?
This area comprises mainly residential houses and some converted commercial buildings including a cluster of convenience stores and eateries along Jalan Dato Mahmud.
I like to highlight the tree-flanked stretch of road at the beginning of Jalan 11/4 (branching off from Jalan Universiti) which leads to a row of restaurants. This one-way road is quiet and wide enough, and cars parked along the grass verge do not obstruct traffic.
Ironically, the busy stretch of road and bus-stop in front of UMMC is obstructed by parked vehicles, including taxis. As a result, buses are often forced to stop in the middle of the road instead of the allotted bay. Traffic police should keep this road clear for ambulances, buses and other vehicles.
