KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways slowed this morning as the Aidilfitri exodus began ahead of tomorrow's celebrations.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesperson said that as of 8am, congestion was concentrated on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) and the North-South Expressway (PLUS), while southern routes remained under control.
"On the LPT, traffic is slow between Lintang and Bentong due to a surge in vehicle volume. Congestion has also been detected on the KL-Karak Expressway heading east, with a 9.8km crawl from KM48.1 to KM57.9 near Bukit Tinggi.
"This is due to a broken-down vehicle obstructing the fast lane along the stretch", he said.
On the PLUS highway, traffic is slow from Kuala Kangsar to Changkat Jering following a trailer breakdown at Km264.4 northbound.
The incident, located between Ipoh Utara and Kuala Kangsar, has blocked the left lane, though traffic remains manageable.
Motorists are advised to plan their journeys and obtain the latest updates via the LLM toll-free line at 1-800-88-7752 to avoid prolonged congestion. - NST
