KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on major highways leaving the Klang Valley was largely smooth and under control by 10pm on Thursday night. A Malaysian Highway Authority official reported minor congestion at several points due to accidents and heavier vehicle traffic. Northbound traffic on the North-South Expressway faced congestion over a 4km section between Sungkai and Slim River, as well as a 1km stretch within the Menora Tunnel leading to Kuala Kangsar, caused by accidents.
Congestion was also noted at Juru heading towards Perai and on the Penang Bridge towards Perai, according to the spokesman when reached by Bernama.
Southbound traffic had congestion at Sedenak heading towards Kulai. Meanwhile, traffic on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway and East Coast Expressway 1 (LPT1) remained clear. The spokesman anticipated traffic congestion to intensify tomorrow night, following the announcement of a 50% toll discount from November 6 to 7 in connection with Deepavali this Sunday.
