Heavy traffic is expected along many major highways as people are travelling back to their respective hometown during this Hari Raya holidays
City dwellers in the capital city have already started making their way back to their kampung since yesterday, as traffic at major highways was reportedly slow-moving, especially during rush-hour last night.
It was reported that traffic at the East Coast Expressway 2 (LPT 2) will see a four-fold increase from the norm, as up to 600,000 vehicles are expected to use the highway during this festive season.
Surely nobody likes to be stuck in a traffic congestion, but did you know that there's a way to go around it?
The following websites allow the public to view live camera feed so that they can find better travel routes and avoid disruptions:
1. PLUS Website
For those of you who will be using the PLUS highways, you may refer to the PLUS website to check for live traffic updates. Just select the highway that you are going to use and click on any of the CCTV icons along the route to view the live camera feed.
The public may also call Plus toll-free number at 1800-88-0000 or check on Twitter at @plustrafik for the latest traffic updates.
