KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Public Works Department (JKR) is urging all political parties contesting in the 17th Sabah Election not to install campaign materials in areas that may jeapordise road safety.
In a notice on Monday (Nov 17) night, Sabah JKR said the restriction covers roundabouts, road median openings, junctions, pedestrian crossings and traffic light poles.
It said installing campaign materials such as flags, banners, posters or any related items at these locations could obstruct drivers' visibility and increase the risk of accidents.
"This is important to ensure road users' safety throughout the campaign period. Campaign materials already installed in these prohibited areas must be removed immediately to prevent any unwanted incidents," the notice said.
The Election Commission has set Nov 29 as polling day, with early voting on Nov 25. – Bernama
