A Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman said traffic remained heavy and slow-moving along the Lanchang to Lentang stretch tonight, but the KL-bound traffic towards the Gombak toll plaza was smooth and under control.

Traffic from the north heading into the Klang Valley was heavy but still moving steadily on routes such as Pendang to Sungai Petani, Permatang Pauh to Perai, Gopeng to Tapah, and Tanjung Malim to Sungai Buaya.

Traffic from the south, such as the Simpang Ampat to Seremban stretch, was also reported to be heavy but manageable.

“As for traffic within the Klang Valley, it is currently improving, although there was slower traffic earlier this evening due to rainy weather,” the spokesman said.

In Kelantan, traffic has eased on federal roads in Gua Musang with congestion reduced to just 5km as of 10pm.

Gua Musang police chief Sik Choon Foo said the number of vehicles entering from the Gua Musang-Kuala Lipis border has dropped, and police have helped ease the congestion through traffic dispersal and redirection measures.

At the Pasir Puteh-Terengganu border, including the Tok Bali-Kuala Besut route, traffic was also reported to be smooth as of 10pm.
