Smooth traffic on major highways this morning

KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways was reported to be smooth as of 8am on Tuesday (April 9), with no significant congestion observed.

A spokesperson from the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said the traffic situation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza (northbound), Sungai Besi Toll Plaza (southbound) and Gombak Toll Plaza (east coastbound) was under control.

"However, we expect an increase in the number of vehicles today as people make last-minute journeys back to their hometowns,” he told Bernama today.
