Taman Melati Jaya enjoys quite light traffic. However, its main access road, Jalan Tun Dr Awang, being a major road, can get quite congested especially during rush hours. This has minimal impact to Taman Melati Jaya, except when there is a big expo at SPICE, during which all the surrounding roads see a surge in traffic.
