Smooth traffic flow on all major highways in evening

KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flowed smoothly on all major highways nationwide this evening despite more vehicles on the road as people returned to their home towns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri on Saturday.

According to a Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman, congestion was only detected on the North-South (PLUS) Expressway, between Bandar Ainsdale and Port Dickson.

To the north, congestion was only reported this afternoon but was now smooth flowing.

"Similarly, there was also no traffic congestion headed to the East Coast this evening, especially after the Gombak Toll Plaza towards Genting Sempah," he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, PLUS via Twitter said the left lane, which had been closed due to an accident at Kilometre (KM) 230.3 from Kuala Kangsar to Changkat Jering, had been reopened.

An incident at KM47.5 heading north from Sedenak to Simpang Renggam has also been resolved and traffic was gradually becoming smooth.
