Highway Users Urged To Use TuJu App During Aidilfitri To Avoid Congestion - Ahmad

BATU PAHAT, March 13 (Bernama) -- Highway users are encouraged to use the latest application developed by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), TuJu, in conjunction with Aidilfitri celebrations next week, as an alternative to avoid congestion.

Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Maslan said the application can be used as a reference before starting a journey, as it provides various highway-related information, including navigation.

He said TuJu was developed to enhance safety, route efficiency and comfort for users, and is integrated with 33 CCTV cameras owned by LLM, allowing users to access real-time highway conditions.

“More interestingly, the application is equipped with smart navigation features, such as accurate navigation, real-time toll and traffic information, rest and service area facilities, live CCTV camera access and emergency assistance.

“Through these objectives, TuJu serves as an alternative initiative which combines technology and safety to ensure a smoother, faster and safer travel experience,” he said.

He said this when met by reporters at a breaking-of-fast event and food basket presentation to asnaf in  Penggaram area in Taman Melodi, today.

Ahmad said the application can be downloaded via Google Play Store and Apple App Store, enabling motorists to plan their travel time accordingly, to avoid being stuck for hours before reaching their destination.

“This application will greatly facilitate highway users, as they can plan when to leave home and make the necessary travel arrangements,” he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the Smart Lane operation, activated during Aidilfitri, he said that it would be implemented based on the needs and traffic conditions on the highways, to ensure smoother journeys for users.

“The public can also refer to the Smart Lane operations on the Ministry of Works website as well as PLUS, including the locations where it is implemented,” he said.
