Living Near Busy Roads May Increase Blood Pressure
Driving during rush hours can certainly turn you into an incredible sulk. Let’s face it, the only people who loves traffic would be online kind, bloggers like me.
My condominium is about 100 metres away from the busiest highway in Malaysia, the Federal Highway. I am “blessed” with all kinds of sounds 24/7, though at night it becomes much bearable, with the occasional rempit zooming home.
Apparently, people exposed to traffic noise over 60 decibels have increased risk of high blood pressure. How the hell do I calculate decibels? Well, a normal conversation is 60 decibels, people taking on the mobile phone, 600 decibels, for some freaky reason, some people tend to shout using their mobile phones.
Once my big day is over in the middle of 2010, I will move out and find a house in my 2nd home – Petaling Jaya.
I think I’ve developed road rage after going through rush hours
Tues went for training in Prince Hotel KL.. and have no choice but to be part of this crazy traffic.. tho’ I’m not the one driving.. but mau gila sudah duduk inside the car.. nasib never turn into monster!
KL or Klang Valley’s traffic jams are actually nothing compared to our neighboring countries’ big cities, so I’m a bit thankful for that!
And I find that people tend to shout over their mobile phone is true! A former colleague of mine is a perfect example of that.. Everyone was annoyed with him!

I recommend for you to change your windows’ glass to the double glazed type. Reduces the noise.
Gee, now that explains why I’m so cranky every morning at work! LOL!
I love PJ too, spent my childhood growing up there but these days even PJ is becoming a tad too noisy …
Now I know why I am cranky when I used to walk to work last time… Geez

Good post.. explains why road bullies are bigger bullies at traffic.
Thank goodness I’m riding a bike and not driving a car. :p So I guess I’m ok.

Mimi – Agreed – Bangkok and Jakarta – MADNESS!
Pinknpurplelizard – Good point, but at this time, I’m saving all the moolah I can. Maybe earplugs?
Nick Phillips – That’s true though, but there are pockets of houses in PJ which is still peacefully quiet, but then again, there’s robberies, that’s another matter.
ladyviral – Yeah, it’s because of a hard day’s work, and then having to put up with years and years of traffic jam, bound to drive you mad.
tekkaus – I used to ride a bike when I was on college, until an accident changed my life. Be careful.
xin – Amen to that!
philters – So you believe in the Mayan’s 2012 prediction?
foongpc – That is true, but as long as the traveling time is cut, I’m a happy man.
pirut – That’s why I’m trying to find a job in KK. I want to experience life.
