KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways was reported to be slow as of 5pm today.

A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said the volume of vehicles on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and the East Coast Expressway Phase Two (LPT2) had caused congestion in several stretches.

He noted that on the LPT2, traffic was moving slowly from Bukit Besi to Paka and at the Kuala Terengganu toll plaza exit.

“On the PLUS highway, congestion has been reported northbound from Kulai towards Sedenak, from Bukit Gambir to Bemban Layby, from Pedas Linggi towards Port Dickson, and from Bandar Ainsdale to the Seremban R&R,” he told Bernama.

The official PLUS Traffic X account reported an accident at KM 35.5 Pagoh-Yong Peng (Utara), causing a crawl.

PLUS Traffic also reported congestion after the Sungai Besi toll plaza heading towards the city centre. - FMT
