Road fatalities a concern

Traffic foul: Many motorists and motorcyclists are guilty of beating the red light, such as this lorry driver.

PEOPLE have little respect for traffic lights these days, especially in the Klang Valley. Many motorcyclists and motorists too are guilty of beating the red light. Pedestrian crossings can be a death trap. And things are getting worse.

The movement control order (MCO) is now in its eighth month. Perhaps there are fewer cases of road accidents and fatalities as a result of fewer vehicles on the road. Traffic movement on major highways is reduced substantially.
