TRAFFIC has begun to build up on several major highways across Malaysia as of 11 a.m. today, with motorists returning from the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, the Malaysian Highway Authority reported.
A spokesperson for the authority told Bernama that congestion is concentrated along key sections of the North-South Expressway and within the Klang Valley, while traffic on the East Coast Expressway remains largely manageable.
The rise in traffic volume is also attributed to families returning ahead of the new school session, which begins this Monday.
“On the North-South Expressway (E1), northbound traffic is slow from Permatang Pauh to Sungai Dua, while southbound congestion is reported from Juru Auto City to the Juru Toll Plaza and from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar,” the spokesperson said.
Traffic on the North-South Expressway (E2) is similarly affected, with northbound lanes slow from Senai Utara to Kulai, and southbound traffic congested from Putra Mahkota to Nilai Utara.
Congestion has also been reported at the Johor Causeway, with slow-moving traffic in both directions from the midpoint of the Woodlands Bridge to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar in Johor Bahru.
On the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE), southbound vehicles are moving slowly from Bandar Serenia to Nilai Utara. Meanwhile, in the Klang Valley, several major routes are experiencing delays. The Cheras-Kajang Expressway (Grand Saga) is affected, with northbound traffic slow from Taman Suntex to Taman Connaught, and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) is congested from Puchong Utama to Puchong Intan.
The Malaysian Highway Authority urged motorists to plan their journeys carefully, ensure vehicles are in good condition, and maintain sufficient balance in Touch ‘n Go cards or e-wallets before travelling.
