KUALA LUMPUR: Klang Valley residents forked out a total of RM6.6 million on summonses as a result of their impatience at traffic lights. The Kuala Lumpur Police have issued 22,054 summonses for traffic light offences, worth RM300 each, to errant motorists from January to September this year. Kuala Lumpur Traffic chief ACP Rusli Mohd Noor said 35,185 summonses were issued for the same period last year, with a total of RM10.55 million paid for the same offence. "Most motorists take traffic lights lightly, but they actually ensure the safety of road users and make traffic flow in the city smooth," he told Bernama. Rusly said this irresponsible act was not only dangerous to the driver but also other motorists on the road. "They don't understand that when the light turns amber, it is a sign to slowdown and get ready to stop, or even better to stop right away," he said. Therefore, he said it was disappointing that motorists still felt that it was a waste of time to wait for the light to turn green. Rusly said summonses were issued to motorists only when a photo of the offence is captured by cameras installed at traffic light junctions around the city. Besides the use of cameras, he said they also placed policemen in various areas to monitor and stop motorists who beat traffic lights. -- BERNAMA
