Route Background
Even though the expressways officially begins at Gombak North Interchange in Gombak, Selangor and its interchange with the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (Federal Route ), the Kilometre Zero is actually counted from the Kuala Lumpur city centre via Federal Route (Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 1, Jalan Pahang (Genting Klang-Pahang Highway), Jalan Gombak (Federal Route ), Jalan Kampung Bandar Dalam and Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway ); the actual starting point of the expressway is counted as Kilometre 19. Next, the expressway passes the Titiwangsa Range and the Genting Sempah Tunnel towards the Genting Sempah at Pahang border.
The section between Bentong and Karak is the sole route from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan and vice-versa, as Jalan Gombak (Federal Route ) which serves as the toll-free alternative for the expressway ends at Ketari, Bentong. At Karak Interchange, the expressway diverts the section to Karak to continue as Federal Route while the expressway itself continues as the East Coast Expressway.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or background:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
