These red light cameras are installed to automatically monitor vehicle speed limits and red light violations, helping to reduce traffic offences, speed trap fines and road accidents. This article contains the latest AES / AWAS camera locations based on official data from Motorist Malaysia, updated as of 4 June 2025.

Latest Features & AWAS Technology

The upgraded AES Malaysia system (AWAS Malaysia) now uses modern technology, including:

360-degree monitoring
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
Multi-offence enforcement (traffic lights, illegal U-turns, vehicle speed limits)
Stealth design (disguised as normal black poles)
Trial of point-to-point speed tracking (average speed detection) on NKVE Expressway, DUKE Expressway and MEX Expressway starting June 2025

Effectiveness Statistics & Operating Costs

Compliance at AWAS camera locations reaches nearly 99%, according to MIROS research.
The system costs about RM15 million annually to operate (maintenance & infrastructure).
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) emphasizes that the system is not just for collecting fines but for improving road safety.

Tips to Avoid Fines & Improve Safety

Always pay attention to highway speed limit signs.
Use apps like Waze or Google Maps with speed trap alerts.
Avoid sudden braking when spotting an AES camera – it’s dangerous for other road users.
Check for traffic summonses through the official system before long journeys.
