Published on: Thursday, December 18, 2014
LABUAN: The big screen LCD TV in front of Wisma Perbadanan Labuan is posing a road hazard to oncoming traffic from the Financial Park Complex, especially at night, according to residents.The bright glare of the screen when one drives after sunset and the video of scenes of Labuan is very distracting. So far no accident had occurred but it doesn't mean we should wait for an untoward incident before action is taken, they said.

Though the videography is good with excellent colours, it is not the right medium to attract passing motorists because it is more suitable for pedestrians who have the time to stop and stare," said an office worker who wished anonymity."A billboard would be more appropriate to target moving vehicles, like in highways with bold visual," he said.He also felt the road is too dimly-lit for pedestrians to feel safe to walk.A hotel staff nearby said the screen should not be angled towards the traffic in front of the traffic light. She said it made more sense to locate the LCD at the Labuan Square.
