This one of the signboard is placed just after Sungai Buloh overhead R&R towards southbound informing and "advising"users to take left if going to Seremban and South .It was a few years ago that this 'confusing and misleading' signboard affected me. As you might have read my previous blog, I am a silent toll protester by avoiding using the toll highway as much as possible. I can't remember what year was that but then I knew nothing about blog and blogging. We were on our way back from Alor Setar and my cousin drove the car while I was sleeping and he followed the sign ending up exiting the Shah Alam toll plaza. Then we have to take the Federal Highway and pay another toll at Batu Tiga. I ended up paying about RM 5 more to PLUS.
The picture of the signboard above tells you that if you want to go to Seremban and south you have to take to the left because if you take right you'll end up going to Kuala Lumpur, Karak and Kuantan. Right? Wrong!!!!!!. You can still go to Seremban and south if you take right. Just keep all the way to the right and you will reach the KL-Seremban Highway. First timers, those who have no business in Kuala Lumpur and unsuspecting drivers going south will always be trapped by PLUS to pay more by going through Shah Alam rather than through Jalan Duta exit. Look at the PLUS map below and compare the distance between both points to Nilai Utara Exit. Going further on the highway means paying more. Or maybe I am wrong.
