Ensure roads are safe before reopening to traffic, say experts

PETALING JAYA: The reopening of roads that have been closed for a long time to help ease congestion is helpful, but the government must ensure these roads are safe, say experts.

Malaysian Road and Transportation Safety Association chairman Nik Salim Nik Salleh said hazard identification and risk assessment need to be done before reopening, as some roads might be in bad condition after their long closure.
