I use everyday also notice fresh skid marks appearing in several places, looks like results of a duel or two!
The speed demons seem to be using this stretch to test out their top speeds, I was moving at about 120 when a white Merc Coupe flashed past me like I was standing still yesterday. Maybe he left some tyre marks further up! Some motorcyclists died on this road within a few days of the official opening.


what's the speed limit on the DUKE?

yesterday, at approximately 5.45pm, some mentally challenged manager at the DUKE Highway's organisation, sent a maintenance crew to re-surface THREE LANES of the MRR2 bound carriageway!!

Need I say anymore?

This highway is a disaster waiting to happen, it's becoming a dangerous speedway now 24 hours a day....how about some speed monitoring cameras?


wahh pay tol oso get this kind of road? not enuf collection kah to make smooth road...

saw another bad accident on this road Saturday last, blue BMW Z3 I think, difficult to tell as it looked like it rolled a few times. Same bend where all the other skid marks were! Hope no one was injured, it looked pretty bad.

I think DUKE is a bit dangerous at some spots especially the exits and some of the bends. When it rains, there is a lot of water pool on the road due to the undulating condition and this creates a hydroplane. So be careful guys.
