Plus Malaysia Bhd has activated Smart Lanes along four stretches of the North-South Expressway in response to increased traffic following the end of the school holidays. The activations, announced via the company's official X account, took place in Perak, Penang, Melaka, and Negri Sembilan. Smart Lanes allow light vehicles to temporarily use designated emergency lanes to increase road capacity and ease congestion.
The activations, which began between 7.39am and 9.55am, included a 4km southbound stretch from Gopeng to Tapah, a northbound stretch between Bandar Cassia and Juru, and several other stretches in various locations. Motorists are advised to follow safety guidelines when using Smart Lanes, such as looking for flashing green lights, signaling before changing lanes, maintaining a safe distance, and traveling at the recommended speed of about 60kph.
