Police say plan ahead: Expect ticket checks, contra‑flow lanes and checkpoints as Sepang braces for F1 crowds

Ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang International Circuit, Selangor police plan extensive traffic operations to ensure smooth vehicular flow, involving screenings at five key areas.

Approximately 365 officers will manage traffic, enforce laws, and assist VIP escorts, with public transport services enhanced to reduce private vehicle use.

Authorities will implement alternate routes, a contra-flow system, and enforce strict parking regulations, including potential summonses and towing for infractions.

Attendees are encouraged to utilize shuttle services and adhere to traffic directives for a seamless event experience.

SHAH ALAM, Oct 2 — All vehicles heading to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for the 2026 Formula 1 (F1) Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will undergo screening at five main locations to ensure smooth traffic flow throughout the event.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the locations are the route from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) toll plaza towards Jalan Pekeliling; from KLIA1 towards Jalan Pekeliling; before the Masjid Roundabout towards SIC; from Kota Warisan towards Labohan Dagang and Jalan KLIA1; and the junction of Jalan Kuarters KLIA towards SIC at the Enstek traffic lights.

“Vehicles heading to SIC will be screened for tickets, vehicle passes and access stickers before visitors are allowed to enter the circuit,” he told a press conference at the Selangor Police Contingent Headquarters here yesterday.

Shazeli said 365 officers and personnel from the Selangor Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) would be deployed for traffic control, congestion prevention patrols, law enforcement and VIP escort duties throughout the event.

The traffic operation will run from 9 am to 6 pm daily from today (Oct 2), with the main focus on the race this Sunday (Oct 4).

He said the parking facilities could accommodate 9,000 vehicles across 17 lots, as well as up to 100 buses at one time.

Authorities have also coordinated public transport services to reduce reliance on private vehicles.

“Some 200 e-hailing passes have been issued to Grab, while 100 passes have been allocated to Prestige Lane to pick up and drop off passengers at the Long Term Car Park (LTCP) and selected hotels.

“Mobility services have also been strengthened with 95 MyRapid shuttle buses operating from four pickup locations, along with 50 shuttle buses operated in partnership with Grab at two designated locations,” he said.

Shazeli advised visitors without parking tickets to leave their vehicles near the designated shuttle bus and e-hailing service locations to help ease traffic flow.

He said strict action, including summonses and vehicle towing, would be taken against those who flout the rules, particularly motorists who park on road shoulders in restricted areas.

A tidal flow or contra-flow system will also be implemented along about 13 kilometres of the route between the Masjid Roundabout and SIC.

Road users are advised to follow JSPT personnel’s instructions and comply with temporary signs, cones and lane controls throughout the operation.

“If congestion occurs outside the circuit, motorists travelling from north to south can use alternative routes via the ELITE Expressway, Saujana Putra exit, South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and the KL-Seremban Toll Plaza. Another alternative is the ELITE Expressway, Putrajaya exit, MEX Expressway and the KL-Seremban Toll Plaza,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will control and divert heavy vehicles, including lorries, at eight checkpoints: Masjid Roundabout; the junction in front of the F1 Main Entrance; Jalan KLIA S8/Jalan Pekeliling; Jalan B48-Jalan 1266; Persiaran Teknologi 1-Persiaran Milenia 2; Persiaran Teknologi 2-Persiaran Seri Emas Utama; Jalan Merpati-Jalan Besar Salak; and Jalan Besar Salak-Jalan Kuarters KLIA.

Information on routes to SIC and KLIA during the F1 event will also be displayed on digital billboards at the KLIA Toll Plaza. The public are advised to follow instructions from traffic personnel, travel early and plan their journeys carefully.

Passengers using KLIA are also urged to leave earlier to avoid congestion and arrive at the airport on time. — Bernama

在 2026 年 F1 海湾航空巴林大奖赛于雪邦国际赛道举行之前，雪兰莪警方计划开展大规模交通行动，以确保车辆通行顺畅，其中包括在五个关键区域进行检查。

大约 365 名警员将负责交通管理、执法和协助 VIP 护送，同时加强公共交通服务以减少私家车的使用。

当局将实施替代路线、逆向行驶系统，并严格执行停车规定，违规者将面临传票和拖车处罚。

为了确保活动顺利进行，我们鼓励与会者使用接驳巴士服务并遵守交通指示。

莎阿南，10 月 2 日讯——所有前往雪邦国际赛道 (SIC) 参加 2026 年一级方程式 (F1) 海湾航空巴林大奖赛的车辆都将在五个主要地点接受检查，以确保赛事期间交通顺畅。

雪兰莪州警察局长拿督沙泽利卡哈表示，这些地点是从吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）收费站通往Jalan Pekeliling的路线；从 KLIA1 往 Jalan Pekeliling 方向；在前往 SIC 的清真寺环岛前；从 Kota Warisan 往 Labohan Dagang 和 Jalan KLIA1；以及 Jalan Kuarters KLIA 与 SIC 交汇处的 Enstek 红绿灯处。

“前往雪兰莪国际赛道的车辆在获准进入赛道前，将接受门票、车辆通行证和通行贴纸的检查，”他昨天在雪兰莪警察总部举行的新闻发布会上表示。

沙泽利表示，雪兰莪州交通调查和执法部门（JSPT）将部署 365 名警员和工作人员，在整个活动期间执行交通管制、防止拥堵巡逻、执法和贵宾护送任务。

从今天（10 月 2 日）起，每天上午 9 点至下午 6 点将实施交通管制，主要针对本周日（10 月 4 日）的比赛。

他说，该停车场共有 17 个停车场，可容纳 9000 辆汽车，一次最多可停放 100 辆公交车。

当局还协调了公共交通服务，以减少对私家车的依赖。

“已向 Grab 发放了约 200 张网约车通行证，同时向 Prestige Lane 分配了 100 张通行证，用于在长期停车场 (LTCP) 和指定酒店接送乘客。

“出行服务也得到了加强，MyRapid 运营的 95 辆接驳巴士在四个上车点运行，此外，还有 50 辆接驳巴士与 Grab 合作在两个指定地点运行，”他说。

沙泽利建议没有停车罚单的游客将车辆停放在指定的接驳巴士和网约车服务点附近，以帮助缓解交通拥堵。

他表示，对于违反规定的人，特别是那些在限制区域路肩停车的驾驶员，将采取包括传票和车辆拖走在内的严厉措施。

在清真寺环岛和SIC之间的约13公里路段，还将实施潮汐流或逆流系统。

建议道路使用者在整个作业过程中听从 JSPT 工作人员的指示，并遵守临时标志、锥形路标和车道管制措施。

他说：“如果环线外出现拥堵，从北向南行驶的驾驶员可以选择其他路线，例如经由精英大道（ELITE Expressway）、绍嘉纳布特拉出口、南巴生谷大道（SKVE）和吉隆坡-芙蓉收费站。另一个选择是经由精英大道（ELITE Expressway）、布城出口、MEX大道和吉隆坡-芙蓉收费站。”

与此同时，陆路交通局（JPJ）和马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）将在八个检查站控制和转移包括卡车在内的重型车辆：Masjid Roundabout； F1正门前交汇处；吉隆坡国际机场 S8 路/北克林路；惹兰 B48-惹兰 1266； Persiaran Teknologi 1-Persiaran Milenia 2； Persiaran Teknologi 2-Persiaran Seri Emas Utama； Jalan Merpati-Jalan Besar Salak；和 Jalan Besar Salak-Jalan Kuarters KLIA。

F1赛事期间，吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）收费站的电子显示屏也将显示前往新濠国际赛道（SIC）和吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）的路线信息。建议公众听从交通工作人员的指示，尽早出发并仔细规划行程。
