PETALING JAYA: Traffic flow on some of the country's major highways are experiencing congestion due to vehicle breakdowns and accidents, as Malaysians start to make their way home for Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
At 5.21pm on Thursday (March 27), there was a report of a crash on the East Coast Highway at KM230 from Gambang heading to Kuantan. However, the traffic is still flowing.
On the PLUS highway, traffic is at a standstill at the Sg Besi toll plaza heading to the city centre, while traffic on the Elite highway (north-bound) from Putra Heights to Shah Alam is slow moving.
