JOHOR BARU: Malaysia has proposed a “single clearance system” to ease acute traffic snarls along the Johor Causeway linking Singapore and the country.

Johor works, transportation and infrastructure committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said under this system, clearance would only be done on either side of the border once.

“This proposal is still at the initial stages. This will be similar to the system that will be used when the Rapid Transit System operations begin in 2026,” he told The Star.

Mohamad Fazli, who heads a multi-agency taskforce looking into easing congestion at the Causeway and Second Link in Tuas, said Johor was also seeking additional funds to increase motorcycle lanes from 50 to 75 each way.Asked about traffic situation during the Chinese New Year, he said all booths at both checkpoints were fully operational.

“We can clear the Malaysian side within 30 minutes, but sometimes we get stuck in Woodlands for as long as two hours as many counters are closed,” he lamented, adding that the situation was expected to worsen after the Chap Goh Meh, when most people return to work.
