KUALA LUMPUR: PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) expects nearly 2.2 million vehicles per day to use its highway network during the return journey to the capital after the end of the double festive holidays starting tomorrow until Sunday.
PLUS in a statement today said the increase involved a combination of long-distance traffic movements as well as travel between major cities heading to the Klang Valley after the end of the Aidiladha holiday period and multiple celebrations as well as school holidays.
“Users are advised to follow the MyPLUS-TTA timetable which can be accessed via the PLUS app and plan your return journey according to the suggested times. This measure is important to help balance traffic flow and reduce congestion at hotspot locations along the highway,” the statement said.
To manage the surge in vehicles, PLUS has also activated Smart Lanes at 33 hotspots along the highway, in addition to ensuring that public facilities at Rest and Care (R&R) areas and roadside stops such as food and beverage stalls operate 24 hours.
The public can contact PLUSLine at 1800-88-0000 or LPT2Line 1800-88-0220 if they require emergency assistance.
