Drivers at Kuching's Mile 7 commercial area are asking for clearer parking and traffic markings after complaints over confusing roadside spaces.

Special Assistant to Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen, Michael Kong Feng Nian, said the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) should review the traffic and parking situation in the area.

He said some wide roadside stretches do not have clear road lines or no-parking indicators. Because of that, motorists may think they can park there, only to receive summonses later.

Why it matters

Kong said several business operators have put up their own no-parking signs because the official markings are unclear. But he said traffic regulation should not fall on individual shops.

He urged MPP to assess the Mile 7 commercial area and carry out proper road marking works, including visible traffic lines and parking indicators, so road users are not misled.
