Raya rush: Slow-moving traffic on several main highways on Monday afternoon

KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several highways was reported to be slow-moving as of 4pm on Monday (April 8) due to the increase in vehicles ahead of the Hari Raya.

A spokesperson for the Malaysian Highways Authority (LLM) said the increase in the number of vehicles on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and East Coast Expressway Phase Two (LPT2) has caused traffic congestion in several areas.

He said PLUS was reported to be congested to the north in Rawang towards Sungai Buaya, Tapah towards Gopeng, Juru towards Perai and Seberang Jaya towards Sungai Dua.

"Meanwhile in the southern direction in Kempas towards Pasir Gudang and in LPT2, congestion was reported at the Kuala Terengganu Toll Plaza.

However, he said traffic on most other highways was still under control.
