AS of 9 am today, traffic on key highways leading into the capital remains largely smooth, despite minor delays on certain routes.
A spokesman for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) confirmed that while most major highways are flowing freely, there are some congestion points.
Notably, traffic on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway (KLK) is moving slowly from Bentong Barat to Lentang, as well as after the Bentong toll plaza, due to a higher volume of vehicles.
“Traffic on other major highways, such as the North-South Expressway (PLUS) for routes E1 and E2, and the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and 2 in both directions, is still smooth and under control," the spokesman said in a statement to Bernama.
The official PLUS Traffic X account also reported that several Smartlane routes have been activated to alleviate congestion, particularly for those returning to the capital after the long Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays.
These Smartlanes include stretches on the PLUS highway from KM367.3 to KM354.0 northbound between Slim River and Sungkai, KM439.3 to KM435.5 northbound from Rawang to Sungai Buaya, and KM437.1 to KM443.3 southbound from Sungai Buaya to Rawang.
Elsewhere, in Kelantan, Gua Musang’s police chief, Supt Sik Choon Foo, stated that traffic on the Federal road in the district is moving slowly over a stretch of seven kilometres.
Meanwhile, in Pasir Puteh, police chief Supt Zaizul Rizal Zakaria confirmed that traffic flow at the Pasir Puteh-Terengganu border, including the Tok Bali-Kuala Besut entrance, remains smooth this morning. - April 6, 2025
