Outstation Kelantanese returning For Aidilfitri Advised To Use gua Musang-jeli Road

GUA MUSANG, April 3 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Public Works Department (JKR) has recommended that some outstation Kelantanese  use the FT04 route, namely the Gua Musang-Jeli road, as a traffic diversion route for this Aidilfitri festive season.

Kelantan JKR Director Mohd Suhaili Ismail said those heading to Rantau Panjang, Tanah Merah, Pasir Mas and Tumpat are advised to use this route to accommodate the expected sudden increase in vehicles entering the state via the Gua Musang-Kuala Lipis road starting this Friday.

He said the move is a mitigation initiative by JKR to reduce traffic congestion on Kelantan's main entry routes.

"Usually, motorists focus on the Gua Musang-Kuala Krai route (FT08), so we request cooperation for those heading to those destinations to change routes using the Gua Musang-Jeli road (FT04).

"We will put up some signboards to inform the migrants involved to use this route. This way, we can reduce the congestion on the Gua Musang-Kuala Krai road," he told reporters at the Traffic Coordination Meeting at the Gua Musang District Land and District Office Operations Room here today.
