PLUS Expands JustGo ANPR to Entire North-South Highway

PLUS Expands JustGo ANPR Toll Payment Across Entire North-South Highway

PLUS JustGo is an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) toll payment system developed by PLUS Malaysia that allows motorists to pass through any available toll lane without requiring a dedicated RFID lane or physical touch payment. The system operates on Malaysia's North-South Highway network and solves the problem of toll payment congestion and lane-specific restrictions by using automated camera scanning to charge drivers automatically. The service is available via the JustGo mobile application, which is offered by the company JustGo, with an official website located at justgo.com.my. By covering the route from Sungai Dua in Penang to Kempas in Johor, the system now provides end-to-end ANPR tolling across the highway's northern, central, and southern regions.

Key Facts

This section provides a factual overview of the JustGo ANPR toll payment system and its expansion status according to the original announcement by PLUS Malaysia.

What Is JustGo by PLUS Malaysia?

JustGo is an ANPR toll payment system from PLUS Malaysia that automatically charges a toll fare to a linked bank card when a vehicle passes through a supported toll plaza. Unlike the Touch 'n Go RFID system, JustGo does not require motorists to use a dedicated lane; drivers can pass through any available lane at supported toll plazas. The system was created to streamline the tolling process by removing the need for physical cards or transponder devices. It is designed for private vehicle owners who use the North-South Highway and prefer a hands-free payment experience.

The only exception to the lane flexibility is at the Bandar Cassia toll plaza, where JustGo is currently only available at an RFID lane marked with a red dot. PLUS Malaysia has also indicated that the Penang Bridge will be added to the JustGo system soon, with a separate announcement to be made once it is ready.

JustGo replaces physical toll cards with a camera-based scanning system that automatically charges a driver's linked bank card when passing through a supported toll plaza.

How Does JustGo ANPR Toll Work?

JustGo works by using cameras at toll plazas to scan the vehicle's number plate, automatically deducting the toll fare from the bank card linked to the driver's account. Motorists must first register for the system through the JustGo app on either Android or iOS, create an account, and link their vehicle's number plate and a bank card. Once registered, they simply pass through a supported toll plaza, and the camera identifies the plate and processes the charge without requiring a stop or dedicated lane.

The system's reliance on ANPR technology means drivers can use any available lane, and the toll fare is automatically charged without stopping or physical payment. This marks a contrast to the dedicated-lane requirement of the Touch 'n Go RFID system.

JustGo automatically processes toll payments through number plate recognition, eliminating the need for motorists to stop at a dedicated lane or use a physical card.

Rollout to the Southern Region

The JustGo pilot began in January 2026 on the 87.7 km Hutan Kampung–Sungai Dua stretch, covering the Alor Setar (North and South), Pendang, Gurun, Sungai Petani (North and South), and Bertam toll plazas. In June, PLUS expanded the system to Jitra, and the Kubang Semang and Lunas toll plazas on the Butterworth–Kulim Expressway were also added. In July, the system was extended to the southern section, connecting to Kempas, as well as the Tanjung Kupang, Lima Kedai, and Perling toll plazas on the Malaysia–Singapore Second Link.

PLUS has now completed the connection between the northern and southern sections of the North-South Highway through JustGo, covering the entire route from Sungai Dua to Kempas. This completes the phased deployment across the highway's northern, central, and southern regions.

In July 2026, the JustGo system was expanded to the southern region, including Kempas, Tanjung Kupang, Lima Kedai, and Perling, marking the completion of the highway-wide rollout.

Who Is This For?

JustGo is designed for drivers who frequently travel along the North-South Highway and seek an efficient, hands-free toll payment method without the constraint of using a designated RFID lane. The service is particularly useful for private vehicle owners who commute between major areas in Penang, Alor Setar, Sungai Petani, Jitra, and as far south as Johor. Drivers can simply pass through any standard toll lane at supported plazas, but they must first be a registered user of the JustGo app and have a linked bank card. The system is also relevant for motorists looking for a contactless payment option that reduces friction at toll plazas, but it is not yet available for the Penang Bridge, where a separate announcement is pending.

How It Compares

JustGo differs from Touch 'n Go's RFID system by not requiring motorists to use a dedicated lane. While RFID systems typically rely on a dedicated lane and a physical transponder device, JustGo's ANPR technology allows drivers to pass through any available lane at supported toll plazas. The only current exception is the Bandar Cassia toll plaza, where JustGo is only available at an RFID lane marked with a red dot, and the Penang Bridge has not yet been added.

JustGo's key distinction is its full lane compatibility, whereas the Touch 'n Go RFID system requires a dedicated lane, allowing JustGo users to pass through any gate at supported plazas.

Common Questions

How do I register for JustGo?

Download the JustGo app on Android or iOS, create an account, and link your vehicle's number plate and a bank card. After registration, you can immediately use the system at any supported toll plaza along the North-South Highway.

Are there any exceptions to the lane usage rule?

Yes, the Bandar Cassia toll plaza is the only exception where JustGo is currently limited to an RFID lane marked with a red dot. All other supported plazas allow you to use any available lane, not a dedicated one.

Where is JustGo available currently?

JustGo is now available across the entire North-South Highway from Sungai Dua in Penang to Kempas in Johor, covering the northern, central, and southern sections. It also covers the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway but not yet the Penang Bridge.
