KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will implement traffic changes for Jalan Sultan Ismail effective July 22.
In a statement on Tuesday (July 16), DBKL said the Cabinet Committee on Road Safety and Traffic Congestion has decided that Jalan Sultan Ismail, from the Jalan Raja Chulan intersection to the Jalan Bukit Bintang intersection, will revert to its original one-way stretch beginning at 12.01 am on Monday (July 22).
It said this decision was made after conducting studies and considering feedback received during the trial period since May 1.
"The Cabinet Committee is committed to addressing traffic congestion issues, particularly in Kuala Lumpur.
"By returning Jalan Sultan Ismail to its original direction, we hope the traffic flow will stabilise, especially in the surrounding areas," the statement said. – Bernama
