Hazardous Road Junction
At the junction of Maxwell Road and Jalan Kinta in front of the Education Department, is a rectangular structure about 6 feet tall installed in the pedestrian walkway along Maxwell Road. This structure blocks the view of drivers turning right from Jalan Kinta as they are unable to see the oncoming traffic from Maxwell Road. The cars have to go into Maxwell Road before they can turn safely. Meanwhile, cars from Maxwell Road turning right into Jalan Kinta have their path blocked by cars from Jalan Kinta protruding onto their right of way.
The rectangular structure has a concrete base and a steel top. The only marking on it is IS 044 Jalan Maxwell and an unidentified symbol. Not knowing who the custodian for this is, the Residents Association of Lim Garden have informed MBI of the pending danger posed by this structure and to remove or relocate it. No action has been taken.
The Education Department and Customs Offices are in this area and there is heavy traffic. Minor accidents are common. MBI should not wait for a nasty accident to happen before relocating this structure.

agree wt jeyaraj & ong.
mbi, telekom, tnb & lap…pls check this ‘box’. is it yrs? pls take appropriate action !
tqvm.
The logo on the box looks like it could belong to the water department. Probably a control box for a valve actuator.
It’s easy to call the authorities to remove it without considering the high costs for the removal & relocation. Why not put up a couple of safety convex mirrors for cars approaching from Jln Kinta & Maxwell. That shouldn;t be too expensive.
