KL cycling lanes to receive new flexi-post separators

According to a report by Bernama, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will replace the rubber separators on the city’s new cycling lanes with flexible posts (flexi-posts). Just a few days ago, DBKL announced it will remove the rubber separators as they posed a danger to road users.

“The flexi-post bicycle lane separators with high security features will also serve as reflectors at night to alert road users. This is to ensure the safety of road users, especially at night and to make sure only bicycles are allowed onto these special lanes,” said DBKL executive director of project management Datuk Mahadi Che Ngah.

With the flexi-posts, motorists would be able to see the new lane separators at several areas along the 11.9-km bicycle route. The rollout of the posts will be done in stages across two weeks, as there is currently a shortage of flexi-posts.

“The rubber separators which were installed along just three kilometres of the bicycle route have been removed for the safety of road users. The lane will reopen to cyclists on February 1,” Mahadi added.

  • Good. Guess a flexi post is better as cars would now think twice before hitting them and park on the bike lane

    Msians don’t like exercise. Cycling is a definite no no and so is walking. Msians hate the sun as it’s the number one enemy.

    • Elaborate “rakyat to suffer”? unless ur terminology of rakyat means lawbreakers only.

  • Hey DBKL. Recycle the barrier & turn it into road humps. Motorist will definitely love it… especially cars with sticker “Be patient, I am lowered”

    Its difficult to talk about having cyclist on main road in the city which is meant for vehicle to travel around. In some cities such as Sydney, a lot of people hate the bicycles on road during working hours, even branding them cockroaches on two wheels. Motorcyclist won’t be happy with flexi post.
