Toll Exemptions On Dec 23 And 24 For Christmas
The toll exemptions will be implemented at all highways from 12.01am on Monday, Dec 23, and end at 11.59pm the following day.
PETALING JAYA: The government has announced toll exemptions on Dec 23 and 24 in conjunction with the Christmas holiday, though this will only apply to personal cars, which are categorised as Class 1 vehicles.
Works minister Alexander Nanta Linggi said the exemptions will be implemented at all highways from 12.01am on Monday, Dec 23, and end at 11.59pm the following day, Bernama reported.
However, the exemption will not apply to tolls at the country’s borders, namely the Sultan Iskandar Building and Tanjung Kupang toll plazas.
“This initiative will cost the government about RM38 million,” Nanta was quoted as saying.
Motorists have also been advised to use the MyPLUS-TTA application and ensure their Touch ‘n Go card or e-wallet has sufficient balance, before planning their journeys.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) director-general Sazali Harun said traffic was expected to rise sharply on major highways.
He said over two million vehicles were expected to use the highways daily, as travellers make their way across the peninsular for Christmas celebrations on Wednesday and the year-end school holidays.
“To ensure smooth traffic flow during the Christmas holiday, LLM has directed all highway concessionaires to make thorough preparations, to ensure safe and seamless journeys for highway users,” Sazali said in a statement, today.
He added that motorists can check live updates on highway traffic through the official social media accounts of LLM and highway concessionaires, or by contacting the LLM Traffic Management Centre at 1-800-88-7752.
The public can also view live footage of highways on the LLM website. - FMT
