Development
The Rothmans Roundabout or Bulatan Rothmans was named after the tobacco company Rothmans of Pall Mall (Malaysia) Berhad (now British American Tobacco) that used to operate in the area. The roundabout is located at the intersection of Section 17, Section 14, Section 19 and SS2. The roundabout has been synonymous with traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. In 2009, the roundabout was upgraded into a fourth junction.
