The 1st. Outline Perspective Plan (OPPI) from 1971 - 1990, known also as the New Economic Plan (NEP) saw a challenge to the Government in providing a good road infrastructural network throughout the country.

During this period the priority was to implement numerous roadprojects in the rural and under-develop regions of the country so as to facilitate and accelerate the development and to tap the economic potential of these regional. The 2nd. Outline Perpective Plan (OPP2) from 1991-2000 demands different function of roads in the development of the nation. This Plan whick encompassers the Sixth and Seventh Malaysia Plan, gives the emphasis on improving the inset-urban lingkages and alleviate transport related problemsarising from rapid urbansation of major towns and cities. In additions to providing a huge budget for the construction of new road links upgrading the capacity of the existing road network and the construction of 'ring roads; in urban centers, the Government also proceeded with the [rivitisation of new roads. In the coming decade the role of our roads will indeed become even more [rominent as the main mode of transport for freight and passengers in the country. The Highway Network Development Plan (HNDP) study, which was conducted in 1991, proposed a road network configuration for Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah to sustain the ever increasing demand for a good. reliable and efficient road network system in striving towards becoming an industrialised nation by the year 2020.
