Public road turned private playground? This barricade is not part of any roadwork. Several families living along Jalan Nuri have blocked off this road and labelled it as a "private road". Christopher Goh, 50, noticed that one out of two lanes on the road has been sectioned off by some residents in the estate, as a space for their children to play badminton and cycle. Motorists travelling in opposite directions are now left with a single lane to travel on. This has been happening everyday for the past two weeks, according to Mr Goh. He said: "It's very selfish of these people. I usually ignore the signage and drive through the area anyway. The residents and maids of the houses along the road can actually stare at me, as if I was the one doing something wrong." LTA spokesperson Naleeza Ebrahim responded and confirmed that Jalan Nuri is a private road, that LTA "does not interfere with the way private streets are maintained or managed, except only if the road is found to be in a defective condition which compromises the safety of the public and road users."
