Smooth traffic on major highways this morning

KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 — The traffic flow on several major highways was reported to be smooth as of 8am today, with no significant congestion observed.

A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesperson said the traffic situation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza (northbound), Sungai Besi Toll Plaza (southbound), and Gombak Toll Plaza (east coastbound) was under control.

“However, we expect an increase in the number of vehicles today as people make last-minute journeys back to their hometowns (for Hari Raya Aidilfitri),” he told Bernama.

Traffic on the KL-Karak Highway (KLK), East Coast Expressway 1 (LPT1), LPT2, and the West Coast Expressway (WCE) was also reported to be smooth this morning.

The spokesperson said accidents were reported in certain areas along several major highways but which have since been resolved.

Meanwhile, PLUS Trafik’s official X account announced the activation of SmartLane in several locations to facilitate traffic flow.
