SEREMBAN: The frustration of long traffic jams is one of the main reasons behind the misuse of emergency lanes on highways. "During the school holiday period, we launched an operation targeting the misuse of emergency lanes, from Dec 20 to Jan 11. As of yesterday (Jan 5), 325 notices were issued to road users who violated Regulation 53(1) of the Road Traffic Rules 1959. He added that last year, 2,288 cases of emergency lane misuse were recorded, clearly indicating that awareness and compliance with the regulation need to be improved. The public can report traffic law violations through the MyJPJ app (e-Aduan) or by emailing aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my to help make enforcement more effective.
