Pendang Toll Plaza stands as a vital checkpoint along the North-South Expressway (NSE), connecting travelers to various destinations.
Pendang Toll Plaza is an interchange on the North–South Expressway (PLUS) in Kedah, serving the Pendang district—an agricultural heartland known for its paddy fields, fishing villages, and the Pendang–Yan–Kuala Nerang corridor.
It acts as a quieter northern gateway for travelers heading toward Pendang town, the Pedu Lake area, and the Tasik Pedu–Kuala Nerang nature circuit, and offers a less congested alternative to the busier Alor Setar Utara or Sungai Petani Utara exits. View location on Google map.
