How to stop missing highway exits

At 110 km/h the exit sign gives you a few seconds, and two exits close together look alike. Miss yours and the next exit can be a long way on.

How notuju helps

The next exit is the biggest thing on the screen: the exit number in a plate like the one on the sign, with the route number and the places it leads to.

notuju before Exit 1202A to Jalan Kuching and Jalan Tun Razak: left lane marked, flyover ahead, and If you miss it: +10 min.
  • From 1.5 km out, it says which lanes to be in, for example “Get into the left 2 lanes”, and marks the lane arrows.
  • Near the exit, a countdown in seconds turns amber at 15 and green at 5.
  • When two exits are close, it warns you at the first one: “Not Exit 707. Yours is the next one.”
  • If you miss it anyway, the way back is already worked out: “If you miss it: +10 min” is the time it would add.
  • Next time, a junction you missed gets an earlier warning.

Good to know

  • Exit numbers come from OpenStreetMap. Where an exit has no number on the map yet, notuju shows the road and the places it leads to.
  • Lane arrows show where the map has lane details for that junction.
  • With Help the traffic map on, a miss is sent with nothing about you: where the junction is, the way you were heading and the hour. Junctions many drivers miss become open data.
