The emergency lane on highways in Malaysia is not exclusive for bikers, according to the Malaysia Highway Authority (LLM).
LLM director-general Datuk Sazali Harun emphasized that emergency lanes are meant for all types of vehicles to stop in case of breakdowns, and extra caution is necessary to avoid accidents.
Motorcyclists in the past would react aggressively, but with the introduction of Smart Lanes on Malaysian highways in 2023, there is greater awareness and understanding among motorcyclists that the emergency lanes are to be shared with everyone.
Motorists, especially motorcyclists, are urged to exercise caution when using the emergency lanes at all times.
