KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on several major highways was reported to be slow moving on Wednesday (Feb 2) afternoon as holidaymakers begin returning home after the Chinese New Year celebration.

A PLUS Malaysia Bhd spokesman, when contacted, said traffic was slow moving from Sungai Petani, Kedah, heading to Bertam, Penang, and from Juru to Bukit Tambun.

"It is the same from Bidor to Sungkai; Tambun to Gua Tempurung; and Nilai to the Seremban rest and service area,” he said.

From the south, slow traffic was also reported from Yong Peng to Pagoh; Bukit Gambir to Tangkak; and Ayer Keroh heading to Port Dickson due to the increasing traffic.

Meanwhile, a Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said traffic was slow moving from the Bentong Toll Plaza heading to Bukit Tinggi and from the Gombak layby to the Gombak Toll Plaza.

However, traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and LPT 2 in both directions was found to be smooth so far.
