School holiday season has begun leads to busier traffic condition
As the school holiday season begins, the traffic will be busier than ever.
According to the East Coast Highway (LPT) Facebook page, the traffic condition is said to be congested as starting from KM 25.2 to KM 36.2 in the direction of Kuantan (Gombak to Genting Sempah) which extends around 11 kilometers.
Along the highway, the congestion is also caused due to a vehicle breakdown in the left lane.
The traffic flow is also reported to be slow along 2.1 km before the Gombak Toll Plaza towards Kuala Lumpur (KL) and around the Lebuh Raya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2).
Several locations along the East Coast Highway (LPT) are obstructed with vehicles and moving slowly where now the school holiday has started.
In any case, if you've already decided to take a vacation during the school holiday season, make sure you plan ahead of time to avoid getting stuck in the traffic jam.
