NO NEW highway projects will be allowed in Kuala Lumpur until 2040, thanks to a traffic master plan that aims to boost the use of public transport in the nation’s capital.

The plan, called “PITKL2040” by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), will focus on connecting existing highways and upgrading current roads.
