KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on some major highways in the country is expected to increase and be congested from Tuesday (Jan 24) afternoon as people return home after the Chinese New Year holiday.
A Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman said the North-South Expressway is expected to be congested from Gopeng to Tapah, Sungkai to Slim River as well as from Pedas Linggi to Port Dickson.
Traffic flow is also expected to be heavy from Bukit Tinggi to the Gombak toll plaza on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway . "Therefore, the public is advised to plan their journeys and ensure their Touch 'n Go balance is sufficient to avoid any payment delays at toll plazas," the spokesman said when contacted by Bernama on Tuesday morning.
