Speed Bumps

Dear Tiarans,

Since the King’s-Gate-in, Queen’s-Gate-out system was implemented in Tiara Damansara, it has been noticed that some vehicles have been speeding, especially at the last straight stretch on Queen’s Promenade, after the crest, until the turn near the Queen’s Gate exit.

The Management is concerned because the steps leading to the playground is within the area, which means there is a lot of pedestrian traffic, especially that of children. The Management has taken the necessary steps to remind drivers to slow down within Tiara Damansara by rearranging the speed bumps and put up warning and “Slow Down” signs.

The strategy of bump relocations is as follows:

1. To install bumps in the middle of straight stretches.

2. To install a bump just before junctions (Princess Lane and Regent’s Close).

3. To install a bump before the steps leading to the playground.

Currently, the changes / relocations are:

Existing bumps retained (3)

1. At King’s Gate

2. In the middle of the first straight stretch of King’s Crescent.

3. In the middle of the second straight stretch of King’s Crescent.

Existing bumps relocated (3)

1. On Queen’s Promenade between Princess Lane and Regent’s Close, (moved to just before Princess Lane).

2. In the middle of the straight stretch of Queen’s Promenade.

3. After the turn near Queen’s Gate, (moved to before the turn).

New bumps (2)

1. On Queen’s Promenade just before Regent’s Close.

2. On Queen’s Promenade just before the steps leading to the playground.

Existing bumps removed (3)

1. On King’s Crescent, just after the first turn.

2. On Queen’s Promenade, just after the turn from King’s Crescent.

The total number of bumps remain the same.

We would like to remind drivers to drive slowly and carefully through the premises. Please also keep in mind that though you can only enter through the King’s Gate and exit only through the Queen’s Gate, the traffic in Tiara Damansara is still two-way. Thus drivers should be aware of oncoming vehicles and keep to the left side of the road, especially around the corners.

We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation to make Tiara Damansara a friendly and safe place for all.
