PLUS Malaysia (PLUS) is fortifying its highway operations to accommodate highway traffic that is anticipated to reach up to 1.9 million vehicles a day on peak days for the upcoming state elections, the highway operator said in a statement. Six states – Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah and Penang will be holding elections this weekend.
Users who are planning to return to their hometowns to get to their designated polling locations are advised to plan their journey properly, as well as for the return journey into the Klang Valley, said PLUS senior general manager of operations Mohd Yusuf Abdul Aziz.
The ramping up of highway operations includes those for facilities at toll plazas as well as rest and service (R&R) areas to better accommodate the upcoming traffic surge on the highway, to help the highway-using public enjoy a comfortable journey.
All highway maintenance, upgrading and construction works that require lane closures will be temporarily stopped from August 11 to 13, except for emergency works such as the clearing of accidents, as well as critical or emergency repair work, Mohd Yusuf continued.
The highway operator is also ensuring that all public facilities such as restrooms, suraus and petrol stations at R&Rs and lay-bys operate 24 hours a day, and encourages motorists to take rest breaks every two hours of driving.
Users can download the PLUS mobile application to aid in journey planning as well as to receive the latest traffic information for the highway. Users can alternatively also follow traffic reports through Twitter (now X) through their handle @PlusTrafik, the Putri chatbot, electronic (VMS) signage at selected locations, from the PLUSLine at 1-800-88-0000, local radio stations as well as through Waze or Google Maps.

you all better vote with brains , otherwise don’t come back!
PH have been putting roadworks on major highways and closure of R&R to dissuade rakyat from going back to vote. No matter they will feel the rakyats fury on their inept and incompetent rule plus all the broken promises and ever deteriorating living standards for all Msians except their PH goons and cronies.
who votes with imagination.

so what is the remedy? NS highway was operational since 1994 with two lanes. every year the number of cars increase by 7% year over year. and 30 yrs later it’s still two lane except that the toll charges inflate. Normal weekends without holidays/ accident is also jam like shit… it’s really a capacity statement that seem no plan for. except toll hike. what a shame u collect toll and call it expressway!!!
Actually there are many sections on PLUS that have been expanded to 3 lane & some section to 4 lane on 2000s & 2010s.
There are:
1) Ayer Keroh – Senawang (2 lane to 3 lane)
2) Senawang – Nilai (2 lane to 3 lane to 4 lane)
3) Nilai – Sg Besi (2 kane to 3 lane)
4) Shah Alam – Subang (3 lane to 4 lane)
5) Subang – Damansara (3 lane to 5 lane)
6) Damansara – Bukit Lanjan (3 lane to 4 lane)
5) Jln Duta – Rawang (3 lane to 4 lane)
6) Rawang – Slim River (2 lane to 3 lane)
The latest is the Yong Peng – Senai stretch upgrading project from 2 lane to 3 lane that has just started.

PLUS highway with 2 lanes story? This news article shows 1 photo of the highway with 4 lanes in each direction & another photo of the highway with 3 lanes in each direction.
its true, some stretches memang only 2 lanes.
example, Karak, Bentong, east coast. Southern also, ie towards Johor. Macam sial Highway kita, jam even on NORMAL days, so this election baik semua duduk rumah saja.
is that certain stretches of the PLUS highway has 2 lanes in either direction (northbound & southbound), not simply just 2 lanes like most federal trunk roads.
How many years u dint come out from your cave ? NS highway 2 lanes ???
