The police are set to initiate the second phase of Op Hormat (Respecting Traffic Regulations) in the federal capital, Kuala Lumpur. This two-week operation aims to ensure that city residents adhere to traffic laws and regulations. Kuala Lumpur’s police chief, Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Maid, stated that this operation is a follow-up to the positive feedback received from the earlier operation conducted in July.
The primary objective of Op Hormat is to enhance safety, orderliness, and compliance with regulations in Kuala Lumpur, particularly concerning parking, traffic lights, signages, and other traffic-related matters. The operation will focus on reducing obstructions during peak hours in the morning and evening at 16 key junctions in the city.
According to Bernama, approximately 1,000 officers and personnel from the police, Road Transport Department (RTD), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and the Department of Environment (DOE) will collaborate to carry out this operation. Some of the affected junctions include Jalan Tun Razak / Jalan Ampang, Jalan Tun Razak / Jalan Semarak, Jalan Raja Laut / Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Bukit Bintang / Jalan Raja Chulan, and Jalan Imbi / Jalan Sultan Ismail.
