KUALA LUMPUR: More than two million vehicles are expected to traverse highways managed by PLUS Malaysia Bhd (PLUS) as travellers return to the Klang Valley starting this Friday.
The anticipated surge coincides with the end of the school holiday season.
PLUS senior general manager of operations Mohd Yusuf Abdul Aziz said the increase in traffic volume is expected to occur in stages rather than a sudden influx.
"We anticipate that over two million vehicles will be entering the city from Friday through Sunday.
"The volume is expected to peak due to a combination of holidaymakers returning from their vacations and those travelling back from their hometowns," he said yesterday.
To manage the heavy flow, Yusuf advised highway users to plan their journeys carefully to avoid severe congestion.
"The public is encouraged to refer to the Travel Time Advisory (TTA) available on the PLUS application to select the most suitable travel times," he said.
He also reminded drivers to ensure their vehicles are in good condition before beginning their trip.
"In addition, road users should ensure they have a sufficient balance in their Touch 'n Go cards or e-wallets.
"We also remind everyone to get enough rest and utilise the Rest and Service (R&R) areas along the highway to avoid fatigue throughout the journey," he added.- NST
