KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 — Traffic flow on the main highways leading out of the Klang Valley was under control this morning as city residents returned to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha tomorrow.
According to a Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman, as of 10am, traffic is reported to be growing heavier on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, but traffic is still moving smoothly.
Several smartlanes have been activated to facilitate the return of travellers to their hometowns.
“The routes involved PLUS, KM0.4 to KM6.0 northbound from Pandan to Kempas, KM4.5 to KM1.9 southbound from Setia Tropika to Pasir Gudang and KM280 to KM276 southbound from Bandar Baru Nilai to Bandar Ainsdale.
“Apart from that, there were also two accidents at KM438.6 southbound from Sungai Buaya to Rawang and KM407.6 southbound from Lembah Beringin to Bukit Tagar, but no lanes were blocked, and they did not cause any congestion,” he told Bernama.
The public can get the latest traffic information through the PLUSLine toll-free line 1-800-88-0000 and on X (formerly Twitter), or the LLM line at 1-800-88-7752 and on X.
