Traffic flow on key highways was informed to be slow around 8 a.m. on Friday today, as Malaysians returned to their separate destinations to exercise their right to vote in the 15th general election (GE15) on Saturday.

The sluggish stream of Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (KLK) travelling east from the Gombak Toll Plaza to Genting Sempah, Bukit Tinggi to the Bentong Toll Plaza, and the intersection to the Karak Toll Plaza, as shared by Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) official.

However, the East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and LPT 2 traffic flowed smoothly but slowly.


As reported, the North-South Expressway (PLUS) from Sungai Buloh to Sungai Buaya, Lembah Beringin to Tanjung Malim, Slim River to Sungkai, Bidor to Gopeng, and Ipoh (south) to Ipoh also told to be congested (north).

Southbound traffic jammed because of an accident at KM 382.3 at Slim River, Perak, and KM177.5 from Jasin to Tangkak, which caused a 3.5-kilometer traffic jam.

Finally, traffic was heavy from Nilai to the Seremban Rest & Service Area in Negeri Sembilan.

The most recent information from LLM on Twitter stated that there was an accident at Km 419.1 north from Bukit Tagar to Beringin Valley. There are no blocked lanes, merely sluggish moving traffic.
