Malaysia’s Automated Enforcement System (AES) was implemented by the Road Transport Department Malaysia (JPJ)  in September 2013 as a more efficient method to enforce traffic laws and regulations. It is more commonly known as speed traps and can be found on highways and traffic lights.

“ZON PERANGKAP HAD LAJU.” As a driver in Malaysia, you’re sure to have come across this sign. It’s the anxiety-inducing warning sign that precedes a collective brake light show on highways. 

The system was heavily debated before it got approved but fast forward almost a decade from implementation, we can’t argue it does give us results. 

In the first 8 months alone, it has reduced accident rates by up to 36.8%. This comes as a result of drivers becoming more compliant with road regulations and the thought of a RM300 fine in mind.

So where are these speed traps exactly? In the table below, we list down locations of several AES cameras on Malaysia’s several highways. 

It’ll be good to get yourself more familiarized with this list as we await further development of the Land-VTL to allow for personal vehicles to enter Singapore (currently, you can only cross the border by bus).

As mentioned, getting caught exceeding the speed limit will come with a RM300 fine. It's also a package deal that comes with demerit points. Find out more about traffic fines in Malaysia here.
