00:0032 highway toll concessionaires will likely finance the construction of free-flow lanes

00:07at toll plazas, a source in the know says.

00:11The source said concessionaires would save more than RM1 billion, or at least 30% of

00:17the total cost, if they funded the initiative themselves.

00:21In 2023, concessionaires protested against the government's move to award a private

00:27company the multi-lane free-flow project for all highways in the country.

00:32Under MLFF, all exit and entry points on the highway will be converted into barrier-free

00:39lanes to reduce traffic congestion.

00:42The source told FMT that highway operators would test the system by introducing a single

00:48free-flow lane, which will still feature a barrier that would open much faster than the

00:54current radiofrequency identification lanes.

00:57The source said the barrier was needed to prevent leakages caused by non-paying motorists.

01:04Once the kinks are ironed out, the operators will proceed to remove the barriers and implement

01:10the MLFF system in full.
