Driving home for Deepavali? 3.28 million vehicles expected daily on PLUS and major highways

The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) predicts a significant increase in vehicle traffic on major highways during Deepavali, with 3.28 million vehicles expected to use PLUS and key highways daily. The PLUS highway network is projected to carry 2.24 million vehicles, followed by the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE) with 288,000, and the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (KLK) with 190,000.

The LLM has welcomed the government's initiative to offer a 50% toll discount for Class 1 vehicles, except at certain toll plazas. To ensure smooth traffic flow, highway concessionaires have been instructed to halt maintenance work requiring lane closures and provide additional facilities at rest areas.
