Driving in Malaysia is, let’s say, an experience. As with everything, it always helps to be prepared – and so rather than lose valuable time getting used to the layout of the roads in the county, here are two handy interactive maps that show you all the major highways in Malaysia. Happy driving!

Highways connect most of the major city destinations in all corners of peninsular Malaysia. Perlis and Butterworth in the northwest, Kelentan and Terangganu in the northeast, Kuanatan in the mid-east and Johor in the south are all connected to the capital Kuala Lumpur in the central west.
