“The traffic flow at the KL-Karak Highway and East Coast Expressway 1 (LPT1) heading towards Kuantan is smooth so far, just like an ordinary day. Similarly, the number of vehicles passing through Bentong toll was normal,” an MHA spokesman told Bernama tonight.
The spokesman said the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza towards the north and the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza towards the south also recorded a smooth traffic flow, in addition to reporting the usual traffic volume.
The official Twitter account of PLUS Trafik said the traffic flow is moving smoothly and is only slow due to vehicle breakdowns.
