TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN ON SEVERAL MAJOR HIGHWAYS – LLM


KUALA LUMPUR, As of 9 am today, traffic has started slowing down on several major highways heading towards the East Coast and northern regions, due to the surge of travelers heading back to their hometowns in preparation for Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesperson told Bernama this morning that congestion began on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway (KLK) between the Gombak and Genting Sempah stretch for about 17 kilometres from the Gombak toll plaza.

“The traffic flow towards the North from Slim River to Sungkai and from the Menora Tunnel to the Sungai Perak RnR is also observed to be slowing down,” he noted, adding that the flow heading North from Bidor towards Tapah is sluggish.

Furthermore, an earlier accident at KM314.7 heading North from Tapah to Gopeng at 7.43 am has been resolved, resulting in the resumption of smooth traffic flow.

Moreover, various Smartlane routes have been activated this morning, including from KM 4.5 to KM 1.9 heading South from Setia Tropika to Pasi
r Gudang, and from KM 27.0 to KM 19.0 heading South from Kulai to Senai.
