Senior Minister of Works Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof also stated that the maximum traffic capacity at the Gombak toll plaza currently stands at 158,000, with an average of 126,000 vehicles travelling the route during peak hours, and 180,000 to 200,000 traffic volumes during the festive season. Through 5G, its connectivity will allow vehicles to interact more effectively with each other and with the surrounding urban environment. As in Europe, Martin Kristensson, Vice President Digital Business at Volvo Cars, has announced that they have already allowed vehicle-to-vehicle communication in most of the country.
In this regard, the Malaysian Highway Authority’s intention to negotiate the expansion of major roads and highways with PLUS Malaysia Berhad to address the rise in traffic volume might not be the best option because it is costly and time-consuming. Besides, the government’s plan to ban heavy vehicles during peak seasons could be useful to some, but not to business owners because it will interfere with supply and demand.

It would, of course, not be the primary solution, but our little efforts will mitigate the effect.
