Traffic gridlock in pre-Bersih rally roadblocks

The police have erected roadblocks along major thoroughfares in the Klang Valley, causing massive peak-hour traffic jams in an apparent effort to foil the Bersih rally planned for Saturday.

Among the key roads affected are those in Subang Jaya near Segi College, Sunway Pyramid and Subang Parade; the Federal Highway; Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong; and the KL-Seremban highway in Seri Kembangan.

Motorists have vented their anger over the roadblocks, which have caused many to be late for work.

Some have poured their frustration by taking to Twitter.

Here are some of their tweets:

RT @syazwinasaw: All ways out of Subang have been blocked by police trying to create havoc aftr last nite's FRU showdown at a ceramah.
