With the interstate-travel ban now lifted, we are beginning to see an increase in the number of vehicles on the roads. And since we are still in the Raya season, more people are expected to travel to their hometowns to visit their families. PLUS Highway’s Head of Operations, Mohd Yusuf Abd Aziz says he estimates a 15 – 20% increase in traffic volume from Kuala Lumpur heading outbound this weekend.
