MBDK towing a lorry blocking one lane of a dual carriageway.
Heavy vehicles such as buses and lorries parked in residential areas or in a haphazard manner along main Klang roads are being towed.
Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) Corporate Communications Department director Norfiza Mahfiz said three heavy vehicles were towed on July 18 with the cooperation of the South Klang Police Headquarters and Road Transport Department (JPJ).
“None of the owners have claimed their vehicles yet.
“If these owners do claim the vehicles from the council’s yard, they would have to pay compounds, towing costs and storage fees,” she said.
Norfiza reminded vehicle owners to park in designated areas and not residential areas.
“The council has been getting complaints from residents about this practice, which causes obstructions and affects the visibility of oncoming vehicles,” she said.
Norfiza added that heavy vehicles parked on road shoulders overnight could also damage roads and drainage due to their weight.
“Our enforcement officers will be monitoring the situation and taking action against offenders,” she said.
