RESIDENTS of Jalan Angklong have banded together in an effort to get help after several car crashes outside their homes.
Jalan Angklong, which runs perpendicular to Upper Thomson Road, has had six crashes in the past four months, and the residents say the conversion of one traffic lane to a bus lane in October last year is the crux of the matter.
They say during the morning peak period, traffic sometimes comes to a standstill on the three-lane Upper Thomson Road heading towards Sin Ming Avenue.
And accidents have happened when drivers turning into or out of Jalan Angklong cross the yellow box and hit vehicles which use the bus lane as a way to avoid the jam.
Residents claim that drivers are not always able to see these motorists dodging the queue.
They are urging for a traffic light to be built or for the bus lane to be removed.
