Interstate travel is not permitted during the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO). However, if you are on PLUS highways – and you should have a valid reason for travelling – and want to stop by at a R&R to pick up food or drinks, you should be aware that the shops are closed from today until March 31, 2020 when the MCO ends.
According to notices which appeared today on the PLUS Facebook pag, the closure of shops are at the following R&R locations in Peninsular Malaysia:
Gelang Patah, Machap, Ayer Keroh, Mambau, Ulu Bernam, Sg. Buloh, USJ and Penanti.
Additionally, at the other R&Rs, operating hours of the shops will be from 6 am to 7 pm. They are at:
Pagoh, Seremban, Dengkil, Tg. Malim, Tapah, Sg. Perak, G. Semanggol, Gurun and Rawang.
All stalls and shops at the lay-bys will also be closed from March 21 – 31, 2020.
However, the toilets, parking spaces and petrol stations will still be operational as normal. All suraus at PLUS R&Rs and the LPT2 are, however, closed during the MCO period.
PLUS has also closed all its reload facilities at the Toll Plaza Customer Service Centres and Reload lanes at both its Open and Close Toll highways.
The highway concessionaire explained that these actions of closure are social distancing efforts to reduce the risk of infection and therefore limit virus transmission.
As such, PLUS advises motorists to plan their journey ahead by reloading their Touch‘nGo card at reload centres nationwide. The reload facilities include Self-Service Kiosks at 67 locations along selected rest and service areas, as well at ATMs of banks. Petrol stations and convenience stores can also provide reload services.
