On 16 November, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas activated the remaining smart traffic light intersections along the Kuching-Samarahan Expressway.

He also inspected the dedicated lane for the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART), proving ground for the ART throughout the POC exercise scheduled to start next week.

The smart traffic light will ensure transit priority be given to ART at intersections.

Transit Signal Priority (#TSP) system is now in operation along the #Kuching - #Samarahan Expressway at the ILP and Sarawak Heart Centre roundabouts.

The system, developed by a Sarawakian company, is meant to regulate #traffic along the expressway which will soon have an #AutonomousRapidTransit (ART) system plying it.

With TSP, it enables traffic lights to go green for the ART whenever the ART passes any intersection.
