Kuala Lumpur: Fixing pothole-riddled roads has been a never-ending battle, mostly due to the lack of coordination in handling the complaints, according to expert.
Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Institute of Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management (IIESM) deputy director Prof Ir Dr Ahmad Kamil Arshad said an integrated hotline system involving all road owners is one of the best steps that can be used to coordinate the complaints on damaged roads or potholes so that the problems could be tackled as soon as possible.
“Those who maintain a road usually know that it is under their responsibility, but many road users do not know how to channel their complaints and they will blame only one party, so the expected response to their complaints may be delayed or may not be forthcoming,” he told Bernama.
