TRAFFIC on major highways nationwide continues to be slow-moving, with no extraordinary congestion reported as of 10pm.

The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said that, for the eastbound journey, traffic was slow from the Gombak Toll Plaza to Bentong and before entering the Karak Toll Plaza, while traffic at the exit from the Kuala Terengganu Toll Plaza on the Pantai Timur Highway (LPT) 2, which was congested earlier in the evening, has returned to normal.

For the northbound journey, LLM said traffic was moving slowly and showed improvement in several areas: from Slim River to Sungkai, Tapah to Gopeng and from the Menora Tunnel to Kuala Kangsar.

PLUS tweeted a crash at KM445 from Rawang Selatan to Rawang and KM296.7 from Tapah to Gopeng, but none of the lanes is obstructed and traffic flow is under control.

For the southbound journey, traffic on the North-South Expressway around Senawang and Pedas Linggi is also reported to be slow-moving, probably due to a crash.

“LLM has yet to get any information from the concessionaire regarding the incident, but the congestion is reported to be for a short time only,” a PLUS spokesman said.

The public can stay updated on the latest traffic through the Plusline toll-free line (1800-88 0000) or its Twitter feed.

Similarly, the LLM line (1800-88 7752) and Twitter feed. – Bernama, April 20, 2023.
