The Works Ministry (KKR) has announced that it will introduce a non-stop toll collection system known as Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) by the year 2025. With MLFF, vehicles do not need to stop to pay tolls as there would not be any boom barriers, thus reducing congestion at toll plazas. 

According to Bernama, Senior Works Minister, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof revealed that the proposal had been approved by the Cabinet. The next step in the implementation of the new system is to negotiate with all the toll concession companies on how it 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 (LLM) that needs to be integrated with all municipalities or cities,” Fadillah said. 

Besides that, the Senior Works Minister asserted that KKR has also started the process of developing a vehicle weight scale (weigh-in-motion) to detect overloaded lorries that can cause congestion and road damage. The system will detect the load limit automatically and legal action would be taken immediately against the vehicle owners or company. 

Both MLFF and the vehicle weight scale are initiatives under KKR's Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Master Plan 2019-2023. The plan was developed to improve the safety of road users and drive the development of IPS applications in the country.
