EVCC™ PEDAS RSA: Circular Design Optimizes Vehicle Flow

Located along the PLUS Expressway at KM241 Southbound, EVCC™ Pedas RSA is built around a simple yet powerful idea: highway rest stops should work with the way people actually move — not against it.

At the heart of this vision is a circular masterplan, anchored by an elliptical main building and supported by a dual-loop circulation system. This new design approach elevates not only the user experience but also vehicle drivability, ensuring smooth, intuitive movement for all types of vehicles — from family sedans and tour buses to commercial fleets and EVs.

Beyond Straight Lines: A Circular Revolution

Traditional RSAs often follow a straight-line layout: vehicles enter, follow a single fixed path through the facilities, and exit at the far end. While familiar, this setup limits freedom of movement and flexibility — especially when travelers want to access multiple zones without committing to a full stopover.

EVCC™ Pedas RSA introduces a circular layout that supports looping flow, re-entry points, and multi-option drivability, transforming the RSA from a linear stop into a multi-directional highway hub.

Dual-Loop Circulation: Engineered for Real-World Highway Behavior

The site is organized into two circulation loops — each with a clear and complementary role:

🔁 Outer Loop – Fast-Access Mobility Ring

Upon entering from the highway, vehicles can remain on the outer loop for:

• Drive-thru lanes for McDonald’s, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Tealive

• Quick access to the petrol station

• Swift exit for travelers making short stops

Key feature: After refueling or using the drive-thru, drivers can rejoin the ingress lane and seamlessly enter the inner loop — instead of being forced to exit the RSA. This means drivers maintain full control of their journey, with no missed opportunities to park, dine, or explore further.

🅿️ Inner Loop – Lifestyle & Parking Ring

The inner loop provides direct access to:

• Shaded parking bays

• EV charging stations

• The elliptical main building housing retail, surau, toilets, and dining options

This slower circulation ring is designed for comfort, with dedicated pedestrian paths, drop-off points, and spacious vehicle maneuvering zones. Tour buses and long vehicles are fully accommodated, with high-clearance access and designated zones.

Elliptical Main Building: Built for Circulation

Located at the heart of the inner loop is the elliptical main concourse, a dynamic architectural centerpiece that supports:

• Even visitor distribution along its curved form

• 360-degree visibility of retail and F&B tenants

• Natural wayfinding, reducing confusion and crowding

For drivers and pedestrians alike, the building acts as an intuitive navigation core — a place to gather, rest, recharge, and reorient.

Designed for Drivability, Built for Everyone

EVCC™ Pedas RSA’s traffic system is crafted to reflect real-life driving behavior:

• Fuel first? ✔️

• Come back in for parking? ✔️

• Loop through before deciding? ✔️

  
  

Whether you're a solo commuter, a young family, or a logistics operator, the entire RSA is driveable on your terms — with multiple routing choices and smooth transitions at every junction.

Conclusion: A Rest Stop That Drives With You

EVCC™ Pedas RSA is not just a place to stop — it's a place designed to move with you.

From the dual-loop road network to the elliptical heart of the building, every inch of the site is crafted for fluid circulation, vehicle logic, and user comfort. It's a new blueprint for rest-stop infrastructure — one that blends architectural intelligence with real-world functionality.
