Curbs on federal and state roads to lower risk of accidents

SEPANG: The speed limit for both federal and state roads will be reduced by 10kph from today until Jan 27 while a road ban will also be enforced on goods-carrying vehicles on some days.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said this reduction would bring down the speed limit for federal roads to 80kph and state roads to 70kph in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration that was expected to see a high traffic volume.
