On Deepavali, traffic along major highways in Malaysia was generally smooth, according to the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM). However, certain stretches experienced slow-moving traffic and congestion. At 9:52 am, the LLM reported that the southbound North-South Expressway (PLUS) route from Nilai to Bandar Ainsdale was experiencing slow-moving traffic due to an increase in vehicles.
On the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (KLK), a 3.1-kilometre traffic jam was reported on the eastbound section from Bentong to Karak. This congestion was caused by an accident that blocked the right lane, resulting in a significant delay for travelers. To help manage the festive period traffic flow, 32 Smart Lanes were activated across major highways nationwide.
The LLM advised drivers to plan their journeys, stay alert, and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. For real-time traffic updates, motorists can call the LLM hotline at 1800-88-7752, visit their website at www.llm.gov.my, or follow their official social media channels.
