Traffic volume on highways across the country is set to surge for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday season, and if you’re looking to avoid the expected congestion as best possible, try using the TuJu highway navigation app.
The suggestion comes from deputy works minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan. He encouraged motorists to use the app, developed by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), as a reference before starting a journey as it provides various highway-related information. He said TuJu is integrated with 33 CCTV cameras owned by LLM, allowing users to access real-time highway conditions, as Bernama reports.
“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,” he said. All this, he said, will enable 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. Incidentally, while LLM says to use TuJu to plan travel times, PLUS has told motorists to use the MyPLUS-TTA via its own PLUS app. There is of course the de facto standards, Google Maps or Waze, which work fine.
The mobile app was launched last November. Developed by LLM, together with its partner Prosignal Consortium, TuJu claims several unique, including access to live traffic reports (via Facebook) from LLM’s traffic management centre (TMC) and the display of accurate toll charge calculation, in addition to the usual ETA.
The name is said to be a portmanteau of “two” (referring to two-way information between LLM and the end user) and “jarak” or “julat” (distance/range). TuJu is available for iPhone and Android phones via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. However, users should note that it’s not available on AACP.

to reduce road conjestion gomen should raise the price of petrol to RM4 per liter, if neighbour countries thailand and indonesia can afford to pay RM4 , rich malaysians which is a developed countrry after wawasan2020 can easily afford that price.
this would only cause prices of goods and services to increase, while not causing an impact on traffic congestion. Thank god you’re not our transport or trade minister
