Traffic Over 20% on PLUS Highway – Avoid These Costly Mistakes!

The annual ‘balik kampung’ rush is about to begin, and if you're hitting the PLUS highways this Aidilfitri, brace yourself—traffic is expected to surge by 20%! With millions of vehicles flooding the roads, delays are inevitable. But before you join the madness, here’s how you can prepare and even make the most of this festive season.

Traffic Jams Are Coming—Are You Ready?

The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) expects a massive spike in vehicles on major highways, particularly PLUS. If you're dreading the long hours in traffic, consider these essential tips:

• Plan Your Journey: Avoid peak hours and check real-time traffic updates on Waze or Google Maps.

• Fill Up Early: Malaysia petrol prices fluctuate—don't wait till the last minute to refuel.

• Check Traffic Cameras: Traffic cameras in Malaysia help you monitor congestion before you leave.

• Stay Insured: Accidents happen—ensure your insurance kereta is up to date before your trip.

What is a Smart Lane in Malaysia?

A Smart Lane is an additional temporary lane opened during peak traffic periods to ease congestion on highways. It allows vehicles to use the emergency lane as an extra lane to improve traffic flow, especially during high-traffic periods like Aidilfitri balik kampung. These lanes are activated in strategic locations where congestion is common and are monitored by highway authorities for safety.
