KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on major expressways remains smooth despite a rise in vehicle volume ahead of the Aidilfitri holidays.
A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesperson said that as of 11.30am Friday (March 28), traffic on the North-South Expressway (NSE) and the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway was smooth-flowing.
However, traffic volume is expected to rise after 2pm as more people begin their journeys to their hometowns.
Traffic in the Gombak area heading towards Genting Sempah remains under control with no congestion reported so far. Routes to the east coast and northern region are also seeing smooth traffic flow.
"However, for the southbound route, traffic is moving slowly from Kempas towards the Pasir Gudang Intersection in Johor,” he said when contacted.
Meanwhile, in Penang, state deputy police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said the volume of vehicles was expected to increase today.
He said police had intensified traffic control and monitoring efforts to ensure smooth travel, particularly on major routes.
