What is the distance covered by traffic dispersal?

Question

Accepted Answer

The traffic dispersal measure covers a distance of five kilometres.

The traffic dispersal measure, implemented by the Gua Musang district police headquarters' Investigation and Traffic Enforcement Department, is carried out over a distance of five kilometres. This method involves temporarily halting traffic in the opposite direction to allow vehicles from congested areas to use both lanes. The objective is to manage the increased volume of vehicles entering Kelantan in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays.
Temporary Traffic Halting for Congestion Management

This traffic dispersal technique involves controlling traffic manually, with assistance from general duty personnel and Volunteer Department officers. The measure has been employed to address the problem of increased vehicle entries into Kelantan. It has been implemented three times so far, with the opposite direction of traffic being temporarily stopped to facilitate smoother flow in congested locations.
Duration of Dispersal and Locations

The traffic dispersal measure is conducted for a duration of 10 to 20 minutes. This specific method has been used in two locations: once in Kampung Mentara, bordering Merapoh, Pahang, and twice in Bandar Utama. The Gua Musang IPD has been utilising this approach for the past three years during festive seasons.
Contributing Factors to Traffic Slowdown

In addition to the surge in vehicle numbers, road accidents have also contributed to the slow traffic flow. An accident at Gua Sejuk, near Felda Chiku 1, rendered the route impassable to traffic in the afternoon, causing congestion in both directions. This incident further exacerbated the traffic situation.
