KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow along several major expressways as of 9pm today was still slow-moving due to the movement of the public in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations and the long holidays.

A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said traffic was moving slowly southwards from Pedas/Linggi to Simpang Ampat.

“The traffic situation was also reported to be slow northbound from Bandar Baharu to the Sungai Bakap layby and from Tapah to Gopeng,” he said.

Meanwhile, traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway 1 (LPT 1) and LPT 2 in both directions was reported to be smooth.

PLUS’ official X account said there was an accident at Km329.7 heading north from Bidor to Tapah, with the left lane blocked but traffic was under control.

An accident was also reported at Km440.4 heading north from Rawang to Sungai Buaya but no lanes were closed and traffic was under control.
