According to Bakri, policemen through the Jammed Squad unit will continue to monitor the movement of vehicles to help reduce traffic congestion.
He added traffic was reported slow-moving from Seberang Jaya to Perai, before entering the Juru Toll Plaza, and from Changkat Jering to Bukit Berapit following the increase in vehicle volume.
The traffic is also slow moving from Gurun to Sungai Petani (U); Sungai Petani (U) to Sungai Petani (S); Bertam to Sungai Dua; Juru to Bandar Cassia; Jawi to Bandar Baharu; Bukit Merah to Taiping (U); Kuala Kangsar to Menora; Jelapang to Simpang Pulai; Gopeng to Bidor; and Lembah Beringin to Bukit Tagar.
