As of 9pm on Monday (April 8), traffic flow on several major highways in Kuala Lumpur was described as smooth, with no significant congestion reported. According to a spokesperson from the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), the situation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza (northbound) and Sungai Besi Toll Plaza (southbound) was under control. However, there was a slight increase in the number of vehicles at the Gombak Toll Plaza (East coast-bound).
The spokesperson also mentioned that all expressways were flowing smoothly, except in the southern part of the Peninsula, particularly in Tangkak, Johor heading towards Jasin, Melaka, where there was a higher volume of vehicles. With more people taking advantage of the two-day toll exemption from Monday, traffic was starting to build up at the Karak Toll Plaza heading towards the East coast.
According to a report from the PLUS Traffic update on its X account, there were accidents reported in various areas of the highway. This includes incidents at KM172.9 northbound from Tangkak to Jasin and KM265.7 southbound from Kuala Kangsar to Ipoh (North), which contributed to a slowdown in traffic flow.
