Jalan Stapok Utama is situated in Kuching, Sarawak and approximately 2.38km in length. The road is a two-way dual carriageway with a road width of 7.4m which have two (2) Traffic Lights under the authority of Padawan Municipal Council. The Traffic Light at the Junction of Jalan Datuk Temenggong Tan Men Chong / Jln Stapok Utama was installed in 2013 while traffic light at the Junction of Jalan Stapok Utama, Kuching, Sarawak / Jalan Ensing, Kuching Sarawak was installed in 2017. 

New road has been constructed by the Sarawak Government in 2015 and opened to public in 2018. This is to meet the demand for road infrastructure. This road constructed as an alternative road to Batu Kawah, Kuching from Matang, Petra Jaya in order to solve the traffic jammed issues at Jalan Satok Kuching.

Upon completion of the bridge and road to link Matang, Petra Jaya to Batu Kawah, the volume of vehicles had increased at Jalan Stapok Utama. In the effort to mitigate the situation, the Padawan Municipal Council had planned and approved to install the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) smart system through their local distributor LKH Technical Services to the existing two (2) traffic light.

In 2018, the two (2) existing traffic lights were upgraded with the smart system (SCATS) and CCTV. This is to help the Council to monitor the malfunction traffic light and improve the traffic signal time length by real time adaptive approach and also to ensure correctly timing signals in sequence, platoons of vehicles move together through a green wave which means green light to allow for traffic to move.
