KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways was slow on Friday (March 20) morning as people begin returning to their hometowns to celebrate Aidilfitri tomorrow. "On the LPT, traffic is slow between Lintang and Bentong due to a surge in the number of vehicles. Congestion has also been detected on the KL-Karak Expressway heading east, with slow-moving traffic stretching 9.8 kilometres (km) from KM48.1 to KM57.9 (Bukit Tinggi). On the PLUS highway, traffic is slow from Kuala Kangsar to Changkat Jering following a trailer breakdown at KM264.4 northbound, from Ipoh Utara to Kuala Kangsar, which has blocked the left lane. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys carefully and obtain the latest traffic updates via the LLM toll-free line at 1-800-88-7752 to avoid being caught in prolonged congestion.
