KUALA LUMPUR: Road closures and diversions will affect six expressways and 25 main roads in the Klang Valley from Friday (May 23) to Wednesday (May 28) for the Asean Summit.
Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said 789 traffic police personnel will be on duty throughout this period.
"JSPT personnel will handle various duties, including VVIP motorcade escorts and traffic control.
"Our assets are already on standby, including 36 cars, 313 high-powered motorcycles, 190 normal motorcycles, and tow-trucks," he said at a press conference on Monday (May 19).
A dry run will be conducted on Wednesday (May 21) and Thursday (May 22), he added.
Comm Mohd Yusri said road closures and diversions will be conducted in stages between 8am and 8pm.
"Routes affected include those to Kuala Lumpur city centre, KLIA, Subang Air Force base, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Istana Negara, and hotels for foreign delegates," he said.
Comm Mohd Yusri advised the public to avoid routes involved in closures and diversions.
"We also advise using public transport. Commercial vehicles are prohibited from entering the city centre during peak hours, from 6.30am-7.30am and 4.30pm-7.30pm," he added.
Comm Mohd Yusri said any vehicles parked haphazardly will be towed.
"We hope for public cooperation to avoid blocking traffic with their parking. Otherwise, we will have to tow the vehicles," he said.
