SIPITANG: Road users expressed their concern over the lack of white lines, road dividers or parking spaces along several roads here. Marten Kumua, 59, said several lanes either have no white line markings or the markings have faded, causing concern among drivers whenever they are in the town area, especially at night. According to him, white lines are important to ensure drivers stay in the correct lane. The lines in parking lots are also necessary for users to park their vehicles properly and to prevent people from parking haphazardly. Daily activities in town have become increasingly busy, especially since the Sabah Oil and Gas Development Corporation (SOGDC) project began operating and with the arrival of visitors from Brunei during the holiday or fruit seasons. He said the white lines on road dividers and directional indicators such as arrows need to be clear and visible to help users navigate the correct lanes. 'At night, white lines are a crucial guide for drivers to avoid entering the lanes of oncoming traffic,' he said. 'We hope the relevant authorities can take immediate action to paint or re-mark the white lines that are unclear wherever necessary.' * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
