Arriving in Kuala Lumpur from the North

Exit on the Elite Highway (14 January, 2010)


If you are driving into Kuala Lumpur from the north, you will most likely be taking the North-South Expressway Northern Route (E1). As you approach Kuala Lumpur, pay attention to the signage for Kuala Lumpur and follow it. Every exit on the expressway is numbered. The most crucial interchange is the one at Bukit Lanjan. This is where the expressway forks two. If you go straight, the expressway takes you to the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza and onwards to the city centre. If you turn left, you continue down the New Klang Valley Expressway, which takes to Shah Alam and onwards to Klang.

If you are coming down the North-South Expressway from the north, keep right when you reach the approach to the Bukit Lanjan Interchange . Follow the sign for Kuala Lumpur. (If you took the left fork, it goes to the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), also signaged E1, which takes you to Shah Alam and Klang.



Taking the right fork takes you to the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza . After you pass the toll plaza, keep left to exit the expressway at Exit 330 to Jalan Duta (now called Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim). Stay on the right lanes. To reach downtown Kuala Lumpur, stay on the right lanes.

This will take you to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim. The rest of the journey on the map (from B to C) assumes that your destination is Dataran Merdeka.
