Contrast@PJ: Directional vs Advertising Sign


The directional sign was erected at Jalan SS25/2 to provide information to the motorists heading to Kampung Chempaka, Taman Mayang, Dataran Prima, Taman Emas, Jalan SS25/23 and Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong. It is nothing unusual, but the location for the signboard. The signboard was erected in no where near to the junction closes to the above places as mentioned. The orientation of the signboard is sliding towards the coming traffic from Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong, thus making the advertisement at the back side is visible to the motorists.
With the above observation, i can only assume that the signboard was put up mainly for advertising purpose, rather than for the purpose of public notification.
