Prolintas to implement additional safety measures on DASH highway following motorcyclist deaths

Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings (Prolintas) will implement additional safety measures on the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Highway (DASH) to further improve safety on the highway, the highway operator said in a statement.

The DASH, including its elevated curve sections, was built in full compliance with specifications approved by the authorities and certified engineers, Prolintas said, and it expressed condolences to to families of the motorcyclists involved in fatal incidents which occurred on the highway, with the most recent incident reported to have occurred last Saturday.

Prolintas has handed over all evidence including surveillance footage to the authorities to assist in investigations, it added.

“While the design of the highway meets all requirements, we have taken proactive steps such as installing extra warning signs at strategic locations, enhancing public awareness efforts, and planning the installation of additional fencing to further improve safety,” its statement wrote.

      Witnessed on elevated highway and flyover too many of these specimens speeding cum lane-splitting, Prone to stay on the angle of your blind-spot zig-zag cut in cut out from far left lane to far right lane or vice-versa. Best part is their bike tyres used until become slick tyres.

  • Prevention is always better than cure or damage control on Aug 25, 2025 at 2:23 pm

    Prolintas is like Ahlokekor…LATE DAMAGE CONTROL after 3 deaths.
    After the first casualty,PREVENTIVE DAMAGE CONTROL should have been initiated.
    Whether extra signages,yellow markings,red lampu or whatever warnings deemed necessary should have been executed at the ‘danger’ zone.
    Some of the deaths can be prevented.Suddenly,a family is devastated when an innocent rider is gone.
    Goes to show,the same TIDAK APA attitude is evident after almost 68 years of merdeka.
    Perhaps,ahlokekor should give way to the Trojan horse in the madani govt,who will mogok over every small incident.

    Put up extra sign board does not improve safety. Repeated similar accidents goes to show unforeseen situations causes these death. As such whatever specification and design guidelines proven insufficient. As such 2 things need to be done at least. First additional safety barriers so that nobody and items falls off the edge
    Secondly the design guidelines or specifications used needs update and ensure future reference had this lesson learnt. We don’t want another flyover with similar risk unaddressed from design stage

      Fully agreed. There are signages of No Motorcycles allowed along LDP before going up flyover ramps but no motorcyclist ignored them or maybe they are selective blindness towards these traffic signage wakaka

    I usually ride motorcycle on this spaghetti highway and i don’t find it to be ‘dangerous’ whatsoever. It is those riders need to be blame on or idiot drivers that are clueless and not attentive while driving

    Sendiri bawa laju/cuai, bila mati kemalangan (atas kebodohan sendiri) salahkan takdir pula.

    Ingat, mati itu boleh diawalkan (dgn memandu x tentu pasal).

    Nnti x pasal2, bersepah pula speedbump.
