Lorries banned from highways to and from KL during peak hours – PLUS NKVE, Elite and DUKE from Feb 19There will be a ban on lorries on highways to and from Kuala Lumpur during peak hours, starting from February 19. Gazetted by the government in October 2024, this rule is to smoothen traffic flow in the Klang Valley by removing slow-moving heavy vehicles during peak hours.
If you’ve heard of this before, the rule has been in place on the PLUS North South Highway and the connected NKVE, specifically on the Sungai Buloh – Bukit Lanjan stretch and from Shah Alam to Jalan Duta , for the morning peak period . The same rule will now apply for the evening rush hours, from 4.30 to 7.30 pm. In addition, the Elite Highway and DUKE Highway are now included in the lorry ban, for both morning and evening peak hours .
Truckers already know this, but the rule is for all Class 2 and Class 3 heavy vehicles excluding buses. Class 2 refers to lorries with two axles and six wheels while Class 3 lorries have three or more axles. Heavy vehicles involved in cleaning and domestic waste disposal, emergency services, law enforcement and highway maintenance are exempted.Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats.
