KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Plus Malaysia Berhad (Plus) expects more than 2.2 million vehicles on its highway network daily during the back-to-back holidays beginning this Friday.
For the East Coast Expressway Phase 2 (LPT2), traffic flow is expected to reach up to 50,000 vehicles per day during peak periods.
In a statement today, Plus said the surge in traffic is due to the convergence of the mid-year school holidays with three major celebrations: Hari Raya Aidiladha, Wesak Day and the Official Birthday of His Majesty the King.
Peak travel days for vehicles leaving the Klang Valley are expected to fall on May 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 31. For return journeys to the Klang Valley, peak days are forecast for June 4, 5, 6 and 7.
“Highway users are advised to plan their balik kampung or holiday trips earlier to avoid congestion. The public is also encouraged to refer to and obtain the MyPlus-TTA digital travel schedule via the Plus app,” the statement read.
To ensure optimal safety and comfort, Plus will activate Smart Lanes at 33 traffic-prone locations to boost lane capacity, while deploying over 500 PlusRonda and LPT2Ronda personnel for 24-hour patrols.
Plus is also optimising operations by opening all toll plaza lanes and monitoring real-time traffic through its Traffic Monitoring Centre.
Through strategic collaboration with the Royal Malaysia Police, Road Transport Department, Malaysian Highway Authority and other agencies, Plus is committed to easing traffic flow and maintaining peak safety levels.
Motorists can get live traffic updates via the Plus app, PUTRI virtual assistant, X accounts @Plustrafik and @lpt2trafik, Variable Message Signs (VMS), and major national radio stations.
“Plus advises highway users to use the Plus app, Waze or Google Maps to plan trips and check real-time traffic throughout the festive season,” the statement read.
Highway users are reminded to ensure sufficient Touch ‘n Go or eWallet balance (for RFID and JustGO users), keep vehicles in good condition, drive carefully, rest adequately and follow traffic rules for everyone’s safety.
