Court orders PLUS to install streetlights on North South Expressway

In a major move for road safety, a Malaysian court has ordered PLUS Malaysia to install streetlights along the dark stretches of the North South Expressway (NSE). 

This important decision directly addresses public concern over the dangers of night time driving on the nation's main highway. The ruling is expected to significantly reduce accident risks and improve the overall driving experience for millions of motorists who depend on the expressway for their daily commute and long distance travel.

Driving on unlit portions of the highway at night poses serious risks, as poor visibility makes it difficult to see road hazards or other vehicles. This has been a contributing factor in many accidents. Before any long journey, it is always wise to check road conditions using a Traffic Camera and ensure your vehicle is safe, whether it is a brand new model or a certified used car with excellent headlights. Proper vehicle maintenance is a driver's first line of defence against potential dangers on the road.

The addition of streetlights will create a much safer environment for everyone, reducing driver fatigue and increasing reaction time. While we wait for these improvements, it remains crucial for motorists to be prepared for any situation with comprehensive Car Insurance. For those who frequently travel long distances, such as making the trip down to the Woodlands Checkpoint, this news promises a future of safer and more comfortable journeys. Managing travel expenses like fluctuating Petrol Prices is also easier when you have peace of mind about safety.
