KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic along several major highways nationwide was smooth as of 10pm on the first day of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration on Saturday (April 22).
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said traffic flow was smooth from Kuala Lumpur heading towards the Gombak Toll Plaza compared to earlier in the evening when there was some congestion.
"Traffic flow was also smooth on the Pantai Timur Highway 1 and 2 in both directions,” the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, traffic was slow-moving on the uphill stretch of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) heading north from Tapah to Gua Tempurung.
