Hannah Yeoh suggests standardising routes to reduce road closures for KL running events

Kuala Lumpur running event organisers must standardise their routes with DBKL and police to minimise city disruptions.

Minister Hannah Yeoh proposes fixed routes based on running distances to help road users plan their journeys.

The initiative aims to organise events without traffic disruption, suggesting alternative routes in less congested areas.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 — Running event organisers in the capital are being told to standardise their routes with Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to curb disruptions to the city with endless road closures.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said one fix worth considering is to set standard routes based on running distances, and make organisers stick to them.

“Three kilometres — this is the route. Five kilometres — this is the route. Organisers cannot just pick whichever route they fancy,” she told reporters after officiating the Mega Cleaning Programme for Hari Cuci Malaysia at the Batu Muda People’s Housing Programme (PPR) here today.

Hannah said the coordination is crucial because road users need to know in advance which routes are affected so they can plan their journeys.

“This week alone, 30 roads are closed for one run. I cannot accept this. I don’t want the public unable to plan their trips into the city. We need to organise these runs properly,” she said.

Hannah said the move is not aimed at stopping such events, but to ensure they can be held in a more orderly manner without disrupting traffic flow, given that more than a million vehicles enter Kuala Lumpur every day.

She said organisers who need different routes could consider less congested locations, while also making use of existing ones such as those used for the Car Free Day programme.

“Kuala Lumpur is a city that needs to be well organised. I don’t want people wasting hours waiting for roads to reopen,” she said. — Bernama

吉隆坡跑步赛事组织者必须与吉隆坡市政局和警方合作，规范路线，以最大程度地减少对城市的影响。

交通部长杨巧双提议根据跑步距离制定固定路线，以帮助道路使用者规划行程。

该倡议旨在组织活动时避免交通中断，并建议在交通不那么拥堵的地区选择替代路线。

吉隆坡，9 月 26 日讯——首都吉隆坡的跑步赛事组织者被告知，要与吉隆坡市政厅 (DBKL) 和马来西亚皇家警察 (PDRM) 合作，规范他们的路线，以减少因无休止的道路封闭而对城市造成的干扰。

总理署（联邦直辖区）部长杨巧双表示，一个值得考虑的解决方法是根据跑步距离设定标准路线，并要求组织者遵守这些路线。

“三公里——这是路线。五公里——这是路线。组织者不能随意选择路线，”她在今天于峇都慕达人民组屋区 (PPR) 为马来西亚清洁日大型清洁活动揭幕后告诉记者。

汉娜表示，协调工作至关重要，因为道路使用者需要提前知道哪些路线会受到影响，以便他们能够规划行程。

“仅本周就有30条道路因跑步活动而封闭。我无法接受这种情况。我不希望公众无法规划进城行程。我们需要妥善组织这些跑步活动，”她说道。

汉娜表示，此举并非旨在阻止此类活动，而是为了确保此类活动能够以更有序的方式举行，不会扰乱交通，因为每天有超过一百万辆汽车进入吉隆坡。

她表示，需要不同路线的组织者可以考虑选择拥堵较少的地点，同时也可以利用现有的路线，例如无车日活动中使用的路线。

“吉隆坡是一座需要井然有序的城市。我不希望人们浪费数小时等待道路重新开放，”她说道。——马新社
