Cameron Highlands district police chief DSP Hasadid A Hamid said the move was aimed at obtaining a more detailed study of the effectiveness of the system as well as public reactions to it.

He added that the implementation of one-way traffic was on the instruction of the Acting Sultan of Pahang Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who had asked the relevant departments, including the police and the Public Works Department, to find solutions to the problem of traffic congestion.

“He visited the area on Feb 15 before ordering a review of the traffic in all major towns in Cameron Highlands, namely, Ringlet, Tanah Rata and Brinchang for the comfort of all,” he said in a statement here today.

Previously, one-way traffic from the Km64 stretch in front of Hotel Iris heading to Brinchang town, and Km65 in front of the Cameron Highlands district police headquarters heading to Tanah Rata, were carried out on a trial basis for one month from March 17 to April 16.
