KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow is expected to increase as road users take advantage of the toll exemption on all highways, starting today.

However, a spokesperson for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said as of 8am, the number of vehicles was still under control and traffic on some major highways was smooth.

“Traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway 1 and East Coast Expressway 2 is reported to be smooth so far.

“However, traffic is moving a little slower before the Genting Sempah tunnel on the KL-Karak Expressway,” he said when contacted by Bernama here today.

The public can obtain the latest traffic information through toll-free PLUSLine 1-800-88-0000 and X site @plustrafik or LLM line 1-800-88-7752 and X site @llmtrafik. - FMT
