Fourteen roads in the city will be temporarily closed in stages to ensure smooth traffic flow for the crowning of Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar as the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara this Saturday.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa said the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department would mobilise 387 traffic personnel for this purpose, including escorting dignitaries, controlling traffic and enforcing traffic rules and regulations.
He said the 14 roads involved are Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Kia Peng, Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Ampang, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Sultan Iskandar Expressway, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim, Jalan Semantan, Jalan Damansara, Jalan Istana, Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway, Jalan Kuching (southbound), Dato Onn Roundabout and Jalan Parlimen.
“These roads will be temporarily closed in stages starting at 8am for the installation ceremony and later at 8pm for the royal banquet,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He said the temporary closure of the roads is to allow the royal guests to arrive on time for the events, and that the roads will be reopened immediately after they pass through.
Rusdi also advised road users not to use the roads involved to avoid traffic congestion and to follow the instructions of the traffic police officers on duty at the locations.
For enquiries and further information, the public can call the Kuala Lumpur Police hotline at 03-2115 9999, Jalan Tun HS Lee traffic police station at 03-2071 9999, the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department hotline at 03-20260267/69 or any nearest police station.
