The transport ministry says it is looking into the possibility of adding lanes along several busy stretches of the North-South Expressway to improve traffic flow, Bernama reports.
According to deputy transport minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi, the ministry is studying the addition of one or two lanes at congested stretches of the highway. He said that once the study was complete, a proposal will be tabled to the government.
“Several stretches have been identified, one of them being the Johor Baru-Ayer Hitam stretch,” he said, adding that the introduction of additional lanes, as well as an improved railway system in the future, will provide for smoother, more comfortable travel.
Ab Aziz also said that the ministry has identified several stretches of road in the risk category, and will be upgrading them to reduce accidents.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments largely agree on the need for additional lanes along the North-South Expressway to alleviate traffic congestion, especially between Slim River and Sungkai. Many highlight that infrastructure improvements should have been made years ago, and there's concern over slow lane hoggers and the lack of enforcement. Suggestions include implementing minimum and maximum speed limits, lane discipline, and better traffic management. Some skeptics question high costs and question current government efforts, but overall, there's strong support for expanding highway capacity.
