For those who will be motoring to Desaru, Johor, for their holidays in the coming weeks, there should be a smooth and easy drive via the Senai-Desaru Highway (E22) which connects from the North-South Expressway (NSE). E22 is accessed from the Senai Utara Interchange and a 45-minute drive along the highway will bring motorists to the Bandar Penawar Interchange. From there, a short 10-km road (FT92) will lead to their destination. So the entire journey after exiting from the NSE should take about an hour.
As on all the highways operated by PLUS, the E22 route will also have a safety team patrolling and ready to offer assistance. They complement the 221 highway patrolling teams and 548 officers of the PLUSRonda team on the NSE round the clock.
We would like to remind those planning to embark on their year-end holiday trips to always adhere to traffic laws and regulations. Keep to the speed limit, drive carefully and avoid tailgating. Stop and rest every 2 hours of driving at the rest areas. Make sure your Touch‘NGo cards and eWallet balance is sufficient to ensure smoother passage at the toll plazas,” said PLUS Managing Director, Datuk Azman Ismail.
“Rest areas provided on both highways allow customers to travel comfortably and provide the perfect pit stop for long distance travellers to break their journey. PLUS’ R&Rs such as Seremban, Ayer Keroh, Pagoh and Machap, coupled with E22’s Layang (Eastbound and Westbound) R&Rs provide F&B outlets, suraus, rest shelters (wakaf), petrol service stations, public restrooms and ample parking bays,” added Senai-Desaru Expressway Berhad CEO, Jamal Abd Nasir Taharim.
The highway concessionaires also remind highway users that they must strictly follow the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the National Security Council (MKN) and the Ministry of Health (KKM). These procedures include wearing of facemasks in public areas and social distancing in areas where there are a lot of people.
