KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on all major highways nationwide remains smooth and under control as of Friday (March 20) evening, with the majority of those returning to their hometowns having already reached their destinations ahead of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring indicated steady vehicle movement on northbound, southbound and East Coast-bound routes.
"Slight congestion was only detected in a small section near the Seremban Rest and Service (R&R) area heading towards Bandar Ainsdale; however, this has not impacted the overall traffic flow," he said when contacted by Bernama on Friday.

The spokesman added that motorists still on the road were likely those opting for last-minute travel ahead of Aidilfitri celebrations on Saturday (March 21).
In view of the clear roads, LLM issued a stern warning to motorists against speeding or taking advantage of the light traffic to violate traffic laws, citing an increased risk of road accidents.
Motorists were also advised to ensure they have sufficient rest at designated stopovers if fatigued and to maintain adequate balances in their Touch 'n Go cards to prevent bottlenecks or delays at toll plazas. – Bernama
