Hi all,
For ppl who thinking of travelling to east coast using LPT, better be careful..a lot of road refurbish still on going especially from Lanchang towards Temerloh..
Last week 9/3, one innova ramped into back of tanker when the driver avoiding cones at straight lines 5km before R & R Temerloh...and the accident caught 2 lives...

Any other stretch that we should be careful of?

besides that, some roads are too bumpy and not suitable for high speed with lowered vehicles...area to watch, again from lanchang towards temerloh, just follow the road signs..
one more thing, dun stop at R & R near Maran at the middle of night, some ppl says its haunted...

Kilometer 116 heading to KL at night dont speeding.. sometimes speed trap there and tahan dekat lanchang exit.. Just beware.
Dont speeding during rain and windy.. I've seen a lot of accident when people speeding (normal speed 110) during raining.. sometimes because of angin lintang.
Heading to Kuantan..after gambang r&r just reduce your speed if that time windy and raining... A lot of angin lintang there. It after r&r gambang until gambang exit. Just beware driving during windy and rain (heavy rain where water a lot on the road)

LPT is super dangerous during heavy rain....a lot of water spot, especially at left lane.....you can see many new steel devider indicates a lot of car lost control and ram it...

I'm a frequent user of LPT. From my opinion, one can speed like hell during day time with fine whether provided one can tahan the saman to come BUT it is a
BIG NO NO during raining time ... pleeseee dun speed laa... sayang ur ride laaa... and of course ur life and ur loved one... !
I dun know why they cant provide a good smooth hiway like in other maju countries, huh!.. be it Hiway Authority.. concessioneare etc etc..
