[Q&A] Malaysia : Gelang Petah (GP)

[panclanrider]

Congrats to u bro...

 

U've just learnt what many of the Sg bikers do by saving $$$ on petrol...

 

Hope u pick the rite timing for your next and many more trips there...

 

Some time the jam can kill you if you enter @ the wrong timing...

 

:goodluck:

[EvilGixxer]

Hehe good job. To avoid jam juz dun go in during morning or evening rush hours can liao. Other than those times shouldn't have jams.

[ozzarhomb]

jams at 2nd link will be as bad as 1st link ah? or worse? i'm already used to 1st link jams. been pumping 1st link for 1 yr plus liao. :cheeky:

[FOXY]

hit second link before 5.30pm is best. 5.30pm to 6.30pm is risky.

[redbeacon]

...and for Saturdays, 3.30pm to 5pm onwards, the entrance becomes a bottleneck.

 

I was once in it...with the sweltering heat all around as well.

[ozzarhomb]

glad people are benefitting from my thread.

anyway for those ppl who haven been in for a long time, there is now a shell station that's open beside esso and petronas. so now got 1 more choice for us. happy riding!!

[Guest dexton80]

short cut under the bridge is best Haha...

i went under the bridge at 12mid-night in the morning alone

so exciting... but very cold and dark...

finish work 11pm go top up petrol

GD thing nothing happen to u .. very dangerous.

 

Adviseable to avoid doing so .

 

The rest try not to do it.. At own risk

[Wankidal]

Mr Ozzarhomb, please bring me along if you intend to go second link next week. Thanks. wanna feel what is it like in the 2nd link.

[ric78]

I always take the GP exit and make a U-Turn then join back the highway to Singapura.

Was wondering using the 312C exit or GP exit is shorter?

It's one big stretch of highway, just like ECP.

 

(Go in a group if possible )

Did you overshoot the 312C exit? It's much convenient to use 312C

Never take notice of that exit. will try it on my next round.

Thanks bro...

[Guest dexton80]

so troublesome which exit 1 or 2 ? -_-"

 

Just take the short cut i recommand. NO EXIT =)

 

Under the bridge so simple 1 way

[inDifferenCe]

of course u-turn then pump lah... maximise petrol!

Some do say the shortcut path is dangerous, even at night.

[bochuns]

Not true, it up to individual BALL big enough anot..I was too lazy to go one big U turn even the sky was dark and i just go tro the oil plantation....It only happened one time my bike out of petrol and stop inside the plantation but lucky know a friend who stay at GP and he fetch me a 4L petrol for me to top up.

[CivicR]

I also miss the Nusajaya exit back to Singapore and instead go all the way to Kulai. And worst I was brining a friend along and both of us low on petrol..

Bro, beware of biker with parrang what big ball anot

[josean]

i missed the exit once...

ride back on the road shoulder against traffic. coz i know i not enuff petrol to make a Uturn at P gudang liao.

 

while doing this method, got to watch out for traffic at the Nusajaya exit on NSH towards KL. its kinda big and got to watch out for traffic carefully

 

anyway this is a last last resort and shouldnt be tried by anyone.

[ozzarhomb]

312C exit, which is also known as the bandar Nusajaya exit, is right after the Gelah Petah exit, so once u see GP exit, can start to slow down and filter left already. :smile:

[acesray23]

have anyone travel after under brigde the road ended on the main road... Turn Left or Right back Esso (Rtn to Checkpoint)

i turn left ended up at GP town...

 

other route....

Go behind the carpark at R&R....

2 pillars for the bicycle path....

exit the carpark go straight and keep left....

Up slope ended at the road back to Singapore...

But must squeeze a distance between drain and railling.....

to be back on the road....

....

 

after fill up at GP esso u go straight n when u come to a signboard telling u turn left to GP town. u turn left then follow the road a short distant till centre divider(railing no more) u make a 'U' turn n head back towards sg. at the turn " 312C".(it's a upslope almost a full circle) n u'll head back towards sg opposite direction of GP esso.

 

 

P.S. do not exit at the 1st exit after 'U' turn it says to 'K.L.'

[simonsay]

got to watch out for sand on the bend, notice that only singapore bikers use it. Don't play the bend, very lonely stretch. I

 

f you go ahead instead of the second bend to head back - thats where the 5 men in a car pounced the chinese malaysian young couple. second bend sometimes their traffic police standby.

 

Rule of thumb be law abiding, and you are safe from harm ..........
