As of 9pm on Saturday (Feb 10), traffic on major expressways in Malaysia was still moving slowly due to the Chinese New Year celebrations and the long holiday period.
A spokesman from the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) told Bernama that traffic was slow southwards from Pedas/Linggi to Simpang Ampat. Additionally, slow northbound traffic was reported from Bandar Baharu to the Sungai Bakap layby and from Tapah to Gopeng.
However, traffic flow on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and LPT 2 in both directions was smooth. PLUS’ official X (formerly known as Twitter) account reported an accident at KM329.7 heading north from Bidor to Tapah, with the left lane blocked but traffic under control. Another accident was reported at KM440.4 heading north from Rawang to Sungai Buaya, with no lanes closed and traffic under control.
