SUBANG: PLUS Malaysia Berhad anticipates traffic volumes to reach 2.3 million vehicles per day across six peak travel days surrounding the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.
The highway operator identified the peak periods as March 18 to 20 and March 27 to 29.
PLUS managing director Datuk Nik Airina Nik Jaffar said the figure represents an increase of more than 20% compared to typical usage of the PLUS network.
She made the announcement at a press conference at the PLUS Tower today.
More than 6,000 PLUS personnel will be deployed to selected locations to ensure smooth highway travel.
Facility improvements at Rest and Service areas are also being implemented, including providing 25 cabin toilets at toll plazas and selected stops.
Nik Airina said 34 main locations along the highway will have the Smart Lane activated to manage traffic flow.
She advised highway users to plan their journeys using the MyPLUS-TTA digital itinerary for travel on the PLUS Highway and East Coast Highway 2.
“During the Chinese New Year festive season, the travel trend of users who followed the MyPLUS-TTA itinerary recommendations were able to enjoy smoother and shorter journeys,” she said.
She noted that only 29% of highway users utilised the digital itinerary during that period.
