I drove to Seremban from my humble abode recently and covered 106km, if one rather disreputable GPS app is to be believed. My journey began on the northern route of the North-South Expressway which is numbered E1 as well as AH2 (for Asian Highway 2). If you've ever wondered what those small signs meant, you’re welcome!
At Sungai Buloh, the E1 morphed into the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and a new Asian Highway designation, the AH141. Later, I was back on some federal and city roads for a while before I rejoined the NSE at Sungai Besi on its southern route, numbered E2. Later at Bangi the E2 became the AH2 again.
On my return journey, the said disreputable GPS app took me through some quaint Seremban back roads where life appeared slower and I was reminded of the Penang I knew from many decades ago. I was then guided out of town and on to another expressway, the E21 or Lekas, yet another fancy acronym in this never-ending battle amongst toll highway concessionaires to pick the coolest name possible for their particular concession.
