Traffic Jam and toll


When one travels on a highway, it is expected that there will be no traffic jam unless some unexpected problem crops up such as accident or vehicle breakdown.

However when one travels on Lebuhraya(Highway) Damansara Puchong @LDP, one is expected to go through terrible traffic jam. To add salt to injury, the massive traffic jam is due to the users "rushing" to pay the toll! At the Sunway Toll booth, it starts immediately after you pay the toll during peak hours (morning and evening).

As far as I am concerned, this tolled "highway" is a farce. You pay for the jam and sometime in the future, the toll rate must be increased because it was allowed in the agreement.

I believe all my Malaysian road users do not mind paying the toll if it is for their convenience and no jam. But for people like me that lives in Puchong, you have no choice but to use this LDP because there is no alternative road apart for the LDP.

I hope those in power to understand the situation. Please use this "highway" during peak hours to appreciate the situation.
