KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic volume on major highways leading out of the federal capital has been reported to be increasing as of 8pm, due to the rising number of vehicles ahead of Deepavali celebrations on Thursday (Oct 31).
A spokesman for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said that there was slow-moving traffic on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway from the Gombak Toll Plaza to Genting Sempah, following an increase in vehicles.
The spokesman also noted an increase in traffic volume on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E2 from the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza towards Seremban, as well as on PLUS E1 from Sungai Buloh heading north.
"The rise in traffic flow is expected to continue until midnight, as many have started their journeys out of Kuala Lumpur," he told Bernama.
The public can obtain the latest traffic information through the PLUSLine toll-free number 1-800-88-0000 and on X @plustrafik or the LLM toll-free number 1-800-88-7752 and its X page @llmtrafik. – Bernama
