Fellow brothers,

New roads to track (existing lanes in MFM are likely to be inaccurate due to extensive widening and separation of the toll/toll-free portions)! But it is quite an uphill task to do it in a single pass (those who enter at Simpang Pulai can only exit at Kuala Kangsar from now on!), so a few trackers would probably have to contribute to make this successful.

I will probably start tracking the route from Simpang Pulai to Jalan Kuala Kangsar after work today (via the new Ipoh Selatan toll plaza). If time permits, I will track the return route as well.

Happy and safe tracking!

Finally its opened.

Was driving upto the North last couple of weekends and saw that it was almost ready.

Didn't know it was opened. Should have tracked it on the 'local roads'. Anyway, hope some of the GPS users will take opportunity to track this new route.

Alamak.. too far away

Speed limit 90km/h only. Better no more jammed at toll.

Bros,

Here are the tracks. The white track is northbound while the green one is southbound.

Cheers

Kudos bro musangking!

And here are the tracks for the toll-free portion... the only major addition is a new flyover near the Jelapang toll booths. This leaves only a few remaining spots to track!

Detailed explanation in the posts below...

Bro OngCC, tracks in yellow above are from the new flyover. Tracks are complete except for the up-ramp from Jelapang toll booth (southbound).

The track in blue is on ground level (but is still the northbound toll-free road to Jelapang). It will merge with the track in yellow later.

Bro OngCC, the southbound off ramp to Tasek needs updating.

Will update the other ramps later this weekend...

Please offset northbound Ipoh Selatan toll booth.

I also notice that the expressway connects to Taman Desa Sri Ampang here. I never saw any signs that we could exit the expressway at this stage, so I believe there may be a mistake here. I will confirm later tonight or over the weekend.

Bro OngCC, FYI the speed limit for the toll-free portion is 70km/h (both northbound and southbound). For the through traffic, I believe is is 90km/h (please confirm, brothers).

Cheers.
