KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on several major highways is moving slowly as of 9pm on Sunday (Feb 15) night due to accidents and increased vehicle volume.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E2, traffic was slow from Bandar Baru Nilai to Bandar Ainsdale and from Senawang to Pedas Linggi following an accident at KM253.6.
On the E1 southbound stretch, congestion was reported from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar due to an accident at KM232.3. Northbound traffic was slow from Kuala Kangsar to Changkat Jering as well as from Juru to Seberang Jaya.
Traffic was also reported to be slow on the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) from Puchong Utama to Puchong Intan and on the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) between IOI Putrajaya and Persiaran Utara towards Serdang Hospital.
Overall, traffic conditions were lighter than Saturday (Feb 14) and are expected to improve after midnight following the end of the government's 50% toll discount period.
Motorists are advised to remain alert, maintain a safe distance and watch for obstructions, while motorcyclists should exercise extra caution, particularly in areas where Smart Lanes have been activated.
