As I understand, the barrier isn't rigidly fixed. It is designed so that when a car, for example, hits it, the barrier would actually give way by swinging outward. I think this is a safety feature to prevent the barrier support/machine from breaking when hit.


These barriers will swing open, and if not broken into 2-pieces or bent too much, it can push back to the clamp.

Depending on your speed, the barrier may also break your windscreen. It happens before.

These barriers are different from car park cheapo barriers.

Each of these poles (just the piece that you bang into, not the complete set) costs several hundred RM.

Therefore, this is a tip for you not to pay toll by slowly pushing the barrier smile_tongue.gif but no guarantee if scratch your car, or the toll operator send your famous photo to police/JPJ. Note that there is a IR-camera located on each lane.

NPE toll from sunway heading towards jalan templer famous for always hang-kei with the barrier up

smile_big.gif Thats where it happen to me. The smart tag lane on the right. VR2Turbo didnt believe me when I said the barrier was too slow.

I use that toll everyday going to work. Reaching the toll I will always look at the Smart Tag lane from far and if theres a lot of car I will switch to the cash lane. NPE Smart Tag lane always have problem either not working or slow!.

Cute Boboi,

The barrier installed at will not bend. It is of very light material and secured by some sort of clamp at the base. When hit by vehicles it will give way and release the barrier from the housing so as not to damage the car nor the machine controlling the barrier.

I don't take chances. I always slow down at the smart tag lanes, until barrier opens....... smile_tongue.gif
I know the Litrak (LDP) barriers are even slower...... smile_blackeye.gif
Cash Lane? Normally cash lane always jammed up.
For me if too many cars in Smart Tag lanes, I will look at the Touch & Go lanes.... smile_tongue.gif

Not at that NPE toll near Sunway. Paying cash is faster, most of the time the cash lane is empty. Toll near Pantai Dalam cash lane will be jammed up.

p/s : valid during my tavelling time around 7a.m.

Release from barrier housing, hit onto the exit light curtain (IR sensors) or concrete pillars or metal poles.
Then rebound and hit back the vehicle.

In either of the situation above, the poles will bent into L-shape if the speed/momentum is fast enough.

If momentum is even faster, the whole pole will fly out (the clamp screw and pole broken). Then need to replace entire ALB.
