Analysis

Due to poor accessibility, USJ 1 is always busy especially during peak hours causing major gridlock of traffic which usually occurs at the junction of Persiaran Subang Permai and Persiaran Kewajipan. During rush hour, it usually takes about 30 minutes to exit the vicinity along a 1 km distance road. There are also plans to reduce the traffic problems with the proposed road linking USJ 1 to KESAS Highway. Currently, there is an LRT extension development due to be completed in 2014. Hopefully, this would eventually reduce traffic congestion in the future.
