PETALING JAYA: Roads across the country saw a steady flow of returning travellers with traffic building up at several locations along major highways. A spokesman for PLUS, the concessionaire for the NSE, said many parts of the highway reported slow moving traffic following an 80% increase in vehicles. “This has made WCE a viable alternative, especially during festive return periods when congestion builds up on other major highways,” he added. Syed Muhd Naguib said on regular days, the WCE records daily traffic volumes of between 100,000 and 120,000 vehicles. Syed Muhd Naguib said although there was a growing use of the WCE, parts of the highway network remain incomplete.
