Proposal aims to address growing congestion in Kuala Lumpur and reduce burden on drivers, who burn RM6.8b fuel annually while stuck in traffic jams
Universiti Putra Malaysia Road Safety Research Centre head Assoc Prof Dr Law Teik Hwa said some six million vehicles enter Kuala Lumpur daily and at least 2.2 million do so during peak hours. “Based on Kuala Lumpur City Hall findings, motorists in the Klang Valley spend about RM6.8 billion annually on petrol while stuck in traffic during their daily commute to and from work. Efforts should be made to reduce this burden.”
“Higher charges apply to vehicles with fewer passengers, with rates decreasing as vehicle occupancy increases. This would encourage carpooling and reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips.” Finally, Dynamic Adjustment is a system that adjusts charges based on real-time traffic conditions and congestion levels, ensuring the policy remains responsive and effective in managing traffic flow.
