Hi all, been thinking of driving up to kl with my wife for some shopping and makan stuff, will be moving off from sg secondlink from 7pm and heading back to sg the next day late noon ard 5pm, but may need some old-birds to direct mi the route from secondlink to kl eg. which exit to exit and after exit how go which direction and wat to look out when my exit is reaching, and moving ard in kl thing eg which area is good for shopping. and so is my timing ok and not crash with jam jam jam? once again thanks thanks in adv

There will be signboards on the highway. Very reliable. So no need to worry about getting lost.
In KL, be prepared to lose your way and making big rounds just to make a U turn. Be prepared for massive jams too! Worst than ours. -
On E3:
Tg Kupang Toll Plaza
Gelang Patah (Route J4)
Lima Kedia Toll Plaza
Senai South Exit (Route 16)
then turn left and up to E2 liao.
On E2, just go all the way for 298km, 2-lane road, keep left unless overtaking. At the end of it you will reach Sg Besi Toll Plaza and you will be ushered right into KL proper.
On your way back, try to get any signs that say KL-Seremban Expressway or E2. -
drivers i dun recommend going near Central Market and Medan Besar. sure jam.
when going home, every evening 5pm the route to E2 will also jam all the way until Istana there.

imagine KL is CBD, outlying suburban areas are ur housing estates, every morning a lot of cars will want to rush into KL via Sg Besi from the South and also from Petaling Jaya. reverse flow for evening. u wun get things wrong.
be careful when u use S-plate car in malaysia. ppl might aim u.
but the advantage of car is ability to go to suburban malls easily.

2nd link is the easiest to go KL, signs everywhere. Can't miss it. But the malaysian side customs more nitty gritty, coz they more free.
-
Yes, but I prefer the old way up Skudai. Used to it. Don't know why.

how about the toll fees? anyone know like how to much to pay for each toll?
-
BTW, all signs are in malay. Once u cross Sugei Besi Toll, look our for signs that says Pusat Bundaraya. Just follow that. Don't be misled that all signs are in English cause there will be none.Originally posted by ryanck:thanks for all info bros here btw, -
E3 is the second-link expresswayOriginally posted by ryanck:thanks for all info bros here btw,
E2 is the North-South Expressway (NSE) from JB to KL
E1, if u wan to noe, is NSE from KL to Perlis via Ipoh and Penang -
I dont think you can get much thing from shopping as prices in KL are not better than wat you can get in sg.
As for makan stuffs, if you ended up in mall food courts, that's a big disaster. You really need a local there to reach those ulu but superb makan places. I would go for Ampang Yong Tau Foo ... at Pekan Ampang... a relative brought me there everytime.
Sorry to sound so -ve.
Perhaps Melaka is a better bet. -
quite agree KL is not a place to shop.

Always park head in first more safer...drive at midnight less traffic but dangerous...daylight got alot of lorry but also dangerous...but i prefer night...
