Roads and highways in Malaysia are among the finest in
the world. Malaysia have a total of about 50,000 kilometers of

marsh, swamps, padi fields, mountains and valleys. Every effort
has been taken to ensure the comfort and safety of motorists using
the North-South Expressway. It comes equipped with international
standard requirements of multiple carriageway, excellent safety
features, well landscaped, superb positioned laybys, rest and
service areas with food stalls, toilets, showers facilities, public
telephones, service station, resting shed, ample parking area,
and children's playground. At some point motels and automated
teller machines are available for public convenience. Vista points
are located at scenic sections along the highway. The Traffic
Monitoring Centre operates 24 hours to assist with inquiries and
breakdowns. Plusronda (highway surveillance) is a complimentary
24-hour service whereby PLUS vehicles patrol the expressway and
provide assistance to motorists who encounter difficulties.
With all the facilities available, it made self-drive is an excellent
and wonderful way to see the Malaysia. Apart from the Expressways,
