KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways in the capital was smooth as of 8am Tuesday (Dec 26).
According to a Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman, traffic flow at the Jalan Duta toll plaza (northbound), Sungai Besi toll plaza (southbound) and Gombak toll plaza (heading to the East Coast) was smooth.
"Traffic is slow moving at Sedenak-Kulai, Johor due to people returning to work after the Christmas holiday and taking advantage of the toll exemption provided by the government today.
"Traffic flow in the north and east continues to be smooth. It's the same at the KL-Karak (KLK) Highway and East Coast Highway 1 (LPT1) and LP2, so far. Traffic flow is also reported to be smooth at the Bentong Toll Plaza,” the spokesman added.
As for highways around the country, traffic flow was also reported to be under control, flowing smoothly in both directions from Slim River to the Menora Tunnel in Perak as well as from Jitra, Kedah to Penang.
Meanwhile, the PLUS Traffic update on its X account said traffic flow was smooth, although it was slow at several locations because of accidents.
Among the accidents reported were at KMP5.4 of the ELITE highway northbound from Cyberjaya to the Putrajaya toll plaza, which caused the left lane to be obstructed, and another on the same highway at KM38.1 northbound from Nilai to Bandar Serenia. – Bernama
