No Trafic Light = No Traffic Jam ?

The flood mitigation project in Upper Lanang could be one of the messiest project in Sibu. Bus stops were stripped off and road turned from 2 lanes into single lane at certain critical area. It could not be more irritating when the project took off in a scattered manner and the progress of work was slow.

This week, they are digging at the main junction which we use to turn in to our office premise. The digging had caused all traffic lights to died out. A noble discovery was unearthed then- the routine traffic jam had vanished. The long queue which always happen between 7.45am – 8.05am had gone for good. Cars from all FIVE directions moved forward based on opportunities and how bold the drivers are.

This raised the question of how effective is the traffic light system in this area. Will we end up better without one?
