KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic volumes on several major highways have increased this morning following the extended holiday period leading up to the Chinese New Year celebration this Saturday.
A spokesperson for PLUS Malaysia Berhad said that as of 9 am, traffic has increased at Permatang Pauh-Perai, Slim River-Sungkai, Setia Alam-Shah Alam and Bandar Gamuda Cove-Bandar Saujana Putra.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) reported slow-moving traffic at Ayer Keroh-Jasin, while traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1, LPT 2, Sungai Besi Toll Plaza and Skudai Toll Plaza remains smooth in both directions.
"Traffic volume is expected to further increase in the evening after working hours and as the public takes advantage of the toll-free travel for two days starting today," he said.
