Traffic congestion is a well-known challenge in Malaysia, particularly in busy urban areas like Kuala Lumpur. Regular traffic jams during peak hours often cause frustration among drivers, especially those commuting to work.

While unpredictable weather conditions can sometimes contribute to gridlock, the primary cause often lies in the irresponsible driving behavior of a minority of road users.

The Footage

Recently, a video on the social media platform Reddit showcased a chaotic scene at the intersection of Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Ampang in Kuala Lumpur. According to Buzzkini, the footage, captured on 15th October at around 5:42 p.m., showed cars trapped at a yellow box junction, resulting in a massive traffic jam.

This situation was not a one-time occurrence; motorists frequently encounter such gridlocks in this area.
