KUALA LUMPUR: PLUS Malaysia Bhd has issued a Travel Time Advisory for expressway users travelling for the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration to reduce congestion with the expected increase in traffic volume.

The advisory is for travel from yesterday to Aug 3.

It urged motorists from Kuala Lumpur and Selangor heading towards Perlis, Kedah, Penang, North Perak and Johor to enter the highway before 9am.

“Motorists heading to other destinations are advised to get into the highway after 2pm from today until tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday).

“For the return trip to Kuala Lumpur, PLUS advises its customers to enter the expressway before 9am from Aug 1 to 3,” it said in a statement issued yesterday.

PLUS will also close the reload lanes at toll plazas to reduce the risk of Covid-19 being spread to its customers and customer service assistants.

Therefore, PLUS advises its customers to ensure that they have sufficient balance in their Touch ‘n Go card before travelling.

Meanwhile, highway users are also advised to use the pre-order food service available at 16 selected rest and service areas to maintain social distancing in public places.

At the same time, PLUS will temporarily halt highway maintenance and repair works until Aug 3 and make crane and tow truck services available at 14 strategic locations on the highway to help travellers enjoy a safe, smooth and comfortable journey. — Bernama
