KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways was slow moving as of 8.30pm today because of the increase in vehicles ahead of the Aidiladha celebrations on Monday.
A Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman said the increased number of vehicles on the North-South Expressway and Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway led to congestion in several areas.
He said traffic was slow moving towards the east coast, specifically from the Gombak toll plaza to Genting Sempah, and Bukit Tinggi to Bentong.
“Traffic flow was also reported to be slow moving from Bandar Ainsdale to Pedas Linggi, the Pedas Linggi layby to Simpang Ampat, and Sedenak to Simpang Renggam.
“Traffic was also slow moving from Tapah to Gopeng, Alor Pongsu to Jawi, Juru to Perai, and Seberang Jaya to the Sungai Dua toll plaza,” he told Bernama.
However, traffic flow was smooth in both directions of the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and 2.
