i did some asking around n finally found some ans. we can call the traffic police at 65476005/6/7/8/9 (24hrs) to report any road hazards. they will send ppl to check and call up the proper resource to clear the road hazard.

 

everyone pls save the hotline number to call whenever you spot any road hazards. we shld all play our part in keeping the roads safe.

for one, i tot u were referring to "moving hazard"

such as cars that cannot go zig zag on a straight,

or

drivers whose one hand in holding his mobile, the other digging his nose

or

riders who ride as if the road is pasir gudang

Every lampost is marked by a lampost number. When calling to report hazards otr, quote the nearst lampost number and LTA or TP will be able to get a fix on the location. Alternatively, junctions of xxx road and xxy road will suffice, or just before xxx exit on CTE/TPE will do too. They usually get the hazard out of the way very quickly. Pot holes, debris, fallen trees and faulty lamps or traffic lights. If its a tua zhong case, u may get a courtesy call after they get rid of the crap. Usually they don't, though.

great add-on Pplater.. yes its important to be accurate when describing the location of the hazard.. and if u have to stop to make a phonecall be sure its a safe spot to park

I once almost rode right into a partially covered manhole. :| There are some roadworks going to at that time.

 

Called LTA and they also immediately sent someone to check it.
