TRAFFIC along several major highways tonight has been smooth and no congestion was reported ahead of Christmas tomorrow.

A Malaysian Highways Authority spokesman said as at 10pm, traffic at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza (northbound), Sungai Besi Toll Plaza (southbound) and Gombak Toll Plaza (towards the East Coast) was under control, with no significant increase in the number of vehicles.

“Traffic flow on the KL-Karak Expressway and East Pantai Expressway 1 and LPT2 has been smooth, same goes for traffic at the Bentong toll,” he said.

He said traffic was slow from the Gombak rest area towards KL through the Gombak Toll Plaza.

He said there was a crash at Km149.3 (southbound) of the North-South Expressway (PLUS), but there were no blocked lanes.

Its concessionaire said on X that traffic along the PLUS was smooth, with some slowdowns in Penang and Perak due to crashes.

“There was a crash on Km123 (northbound) from Sungai Dua to Bertam. An accident also occurred at Km325.3 (northbound) from Tapah to Gopeng. There are no blocked lanes. Traffic is under control,” it said. – Bernama, December 24, 2023.
