The Federal Route 2 is a major east-west oriented federal highway in Malaysia. The 276.9 kilometres (172 mi) road connects Port Klang in Selangor to Kuantan Port in Pahang. The Federal Route 2 became the backbone of the road system linking the east and west coasts of Peninsula Malaysia before being surpassed by the East Coast Expressway E8.
The Federal Route 2 is divided into two sections - Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway (Malay: Jalan Kuala Lumpur-Klang) and Kuala Lumpur-Kuantan Road (Malay: Jalan Kuala Lumpur-Kuantan), where both sections are connected at Kuala Lumpur. The Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway consists of Jalan Syed Putra, Federal Highway Route 2, Persiaran Sultan Ibrahim, Jalan Jambatan Kota (also concurrents with the Federal Route 5) and Persiaran Raja Muda Musa, where almost all sections of the Kuala Lumpur-Klang Highway are built as a divided highway except the short section from Port Klang Interchange to Port Klang jetty. The Kilometre Zero of the Federal Route 2 is located at Port Klang, Selangor.
At the town centre of Klang, the FT2 highway intersects with Jalan Langat FT5 at Simpang Lima Roundabout Interchange. As a result, the FT5 concurrents with the FT2 along Jambatan Kota before the FT5 route is diverted to Jalan Kapar FT5 at Simpang Tujuh Roundabout Interchange.
The FT2 highway becomes a controlled-access expressway starting from Berkeley Roundabout Interchange to Seputeh Interchange, where the controlled-access section is popularly known as the Federal Highway Route 2. The section of the Federal Highway FT2 from Berkeley Roundabout Interchange to Subang Airport Interchange is a tolled section managed by PLUS Malaysia Berhad, the operator of the nation's longest expressway, the North-South Expressway. The Federal Highway FT2 later becomes a limited-access arterial highway again after Seputeh Interchange, where it becomes Jalan Syed Putra. Jalan Syed Putra FT2 was concluded at Bulatan Kinabalu where it joins with Jalan Kinabalu FT1.
