PLUS JustGo ANPR Toll Now Covers Full North-South Highway

What happened

PLUS Malaysia has extended its JustGo automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) toll payment system to the full North-South Highway, from Sungai Dua in Penang to Kempas in Johor. This completes the rollout across the northern, central, and southern regions after phased deployments.

Why it matters

Drivers can now pay tolls without physical cards or devices. The ANPR technology reads number plates automatically, cutting the need to stop for payment. This supports Malaysia's push toward cashless and contactless transport.

Impact on Malaysia

Motorists traveling the entire highway will see faster toll transactions. The system should reduce congestion at toll plazas, especially during peak periods. It also aligns with the government's digital economy goals by promoting smart mobility.

How JustGo works

Cameras capture number plates as vehicles pass through toll lanes. Charges are deducted from a linked e-wallet or bank account. Users must register their vehicle and payment method beforehand.

Rollout timeline

PLUS initially deployed JustGo in selected locations, then expanded region by region. The latest phase covers the southern stretch, finalizing highway-wide availability. No official launch date was given.

What's next

PLUS may extend JustGo to other highways it manages. Future updates could include integration with mobility services or loyalty programs. Drivers are advised to register early to avoid delays.
