Driving in Peninsular
Malaysia on the expressway is very pleasant. It's a wonderful
experience as you can stop anywhere in your own time. The scenery is
lush and green and you can always stop overnight at any of the towns
as there are always a number of hotels available throughout the
journey.
Driving outside the cities can be great fun and a excellent way to
view the country Especially if you use the country roads. These pass
through Kampungs, villages, orchards plantations and settlements
will enables you to view the countryside.
Driving can be a hazard though especially so if you are not used to
driving on the left side of the road and also with young
motorcylists who often ride with a reckless disregard for their own
safety. They can make driving a little difficult in the built up
areas as they often speed through the car lanes. You will get a
first hand view as you arrive and enter the city.
 Almost
80 percent of Malaysian roads are paved. An overland journey from
Thailand to Singapore can be made easily through Peninsular Malaysia
by driving through the North-South Expressway on the west coast and
through the East-West Highway to the east coast. Buses, taxis and
coaches, both interstate and local, also ply between various
destinations.
The speed limit on the Expressway is usually 110km/hr, but in some
areas it is only 90 km/hr. Expressway users pay a toll based on the
distance travelled and the type of vehicle. They collect a transit
ticket from the entry toll plaza and pay the toll at the exit toll
plaza.
Located along the Expressway are several Rest and Service Areas with
food stalls, toilets, public telephones, petrol stations and parking
areas.

to go out of the city or town and do no want to hire the whole taxi,
