KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on major highways heading towards the Klang Valley was moving slowly as of 5 pm today, as travelers began their journey back to the capital following the Deepavali holiday last Thursday.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, a Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman reported that traffic on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1 was slow-moving from Jawi to Bandar Baharu, Bukit Merah to Taiping Utara, Kuala Kangsar to the Meru Tunnel, and Simpang Pulai to Tapah. Additionally, traffic congestion was noted from Bidor to Sungai due to an accident at KM366.7, and from Lembah Beringin to Bukit Tagar following another accident at KM419.3, which has obstructed the emergency lane.
On the PLUS E2, traffic delays were experienced from Simpang Ampat to Pedas Linggi, Senawang to Port Dickson Utara, Seremban to Nilai, Putra Mahkota to Southville City, and after the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza towards the city centre.
The Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway (E8) also experienced slow traffic from Karak to Bentong
, Lenteng to Bukit Tinggi, and from KM29 to the Gombak Toll Plaza.
