On 16th April 2015, I and my classmates went to Cameron Highlands for a trip as a requirement for two subjects which are Business Marketing and Issues in Marketing. During the trip, there were some issues that I found on the way to Cameron Highlands. The issues are some cars in the wrong lane of road at the PLUS toll, some lorries that stop beside the road without any traffic cone or signboard to warn drivers, the landslide and the conditions of road at Cameron Highlands have slow down our journey. Firstly, the issue of cars that went to the wrong lane of road at the PLUS toll has forced other drivers to use more time than should. This is because when a car is at the wrong lane of road during the queuing to pay the toll such as a car that does not has Touch n’ Go but still go for the lane of Touch n’ Go has forced other drivers behind the car to reverse because it is the only way to solve the problem. Most drivers said that the signboard that shows the type of toll counter in PLUS highway is not visible from a distance especially when the queuing is long and also because the lane for some counters at toll such as Touch n’ Go keep changing as the numbers of counters at toll also changed according to the number of lane at a certain road in a certain place which are most road of highway have 2 lanes and some have 3 lanes. These signboards that differentiate the type of counter at the PLUS toll will become more invisible during the heavy rain and cause problem to the drivers that are not familiar with the toll. PLUS toll should provide a signboard that can be read and visible from a distance to solve this problem as this problem occurred from a long ago until now and drivers are sick to deal with the car in the wrong lane as the car in the wrong lane has made the others to wait and use more time. Secondly, some lorries that stops beside the road because of breakdown did not put any traffic cone or signboard to warn drivers.
