Real time road traffic condition information for Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur

The public system still have some way to go before large number of people will leave their cars in their home and take public transport as currently the state of the current public transport still need much improvements. Most have little choice but to take their private vehicles to their workplaces etc. To make life easier to avoid traffic jams, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur has instituted ITIS (close new window to get back to this page), short for Integrated Transport Information System, via which you may find out traffic conditions of major roads through the Internet and telephone before you venture out of your house. With the information, you can thus choose less congested routes, choose to leave at a later time when traffic become less congested thus lessen wastage of petrol and emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 by unnecessary idling, etc.

You can view still traffic images of roads which are updated every 20 seconds (that is what I measured). The roads are KL-Seremban Highway, Federal Highway, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan TAR, Jalan Pahang, Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Kuching, MRR2, Lebuhraya Mahameru, Jalan Duta and Bandar Tasik Selatan.
