THE Works Ministry (KKR) will introduce a no-stop toll collection system known as multi-lane free flow (MLFF) by 2025 in an effort to reduce congestion at toll plazas. 

Works Minister Fadillah Yusof said the proposal has been approved by the cabinet, adding that with the implementation of MLFF, vehicles do not need to stop to pay tolls as there would not be any barriers.

“The next step is to negotiate with all toll concessionaires on how MLFF will be implemented so as to provide convenience to highway users. 

“After that, we will look into how to integrate the MLFF system, where we will establish a command centre managed by the Malaysian Highway Authority that needs to be integrated with all municipalities or cities,” he said. 

He said this at an engagement session with the media in Kuala Lumpur tonight, which was also attended by Deputy Works Minister Arthur Joseph Kurup. 

He said the MLFF is one of the initiatives under the ministry’s Intelligent Transport System Master Plan 2019-2023 which was developed to improve the safety of road users. 

Fadillah also said the ministry has also started the process of developing a vehicle weight scale to detect overloaded lorries that can cause congestion and road damage. 

He said it will automatically detect the load limit and legal action would be immediately taken against vehicle owners or companies. – Bernama, October 6, 2022.
