Border agencies implement traffic plan at Rantau Panjang ICQS to manage holiday congestion, with queues reaching 300 metres during peak hours
PASIR MAS: Border control agencies have taken early measures to ensure smooth movement at the Rantau Panjang Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Complex during the school holidays.
An increase in vehicles and pedestrians has been observed over the past few days, especially during peak hours.
Rantau Panjang Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) deputy commander Bakri Sulaiman said vehicle queues reached nearly 300 metres along the main road to the complex.
“The situation is most noticeable between 9 am and 2 pm,” he said.
He stated that additional officers were deployed at inspection counters and a traffic management plan was activated.
The measures aim to control traffic flow and speed up inspection procedures.
He advised the public to plan their journeys early and ensure travel documents are complete.
Road users were also urged to remain patient and follow instructions from security personnel.
Visitor Mohd Zulfaizan Jaafar, 35, said planning his trip early helped reduce difficulties at the border.
Another visitor, Lee Chong Chong, 45, said the presence of extra officers helped ease movement despite the long queues.
