KUANTAN, May 6 (Bernama) — The concessionaire of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (KLK) and the East Coast Expressway Phase 1 (LPT1), ANIH Berhad, has advised motorists to continue to follow the travel time advisory (TTA) issued for their return journey to the Klang Valley after celebrating the Aidilfitri holidays.
Its senior general manager, Radzimah Mohd Radzi said the number of vehicles on both routes has begun to increase and the TTA issued is aimed at ensuring a comfortable and smooth return journey.
From April 29 to yesterday (May 5) evening, a total of 1.15 million vehicles were recorded on the KLK Expressway whereas the LPT1 recorded a total of 570,393 vehicles, however, rest and service (R&R) areas along both routes were under control.
“Motorists’ compliance with the TTA issued has increased to almost 74 per cent from only 55 per cent since it was first announced last week. This has helped highway management operations especially in ensuring user comfort at R&Rs and lay-bys,” she said in a statement here today.
Based on the TTA issued for tomorrow and on Sunday, road users from Pahang are advised to enter the highways from 6 am to 10 am or 7 pm to 10 pm; Terengganu (8 am to 11 am or 8 am to 10 pm); and Kelantan (6 am to 8 pm or 10 pm to midnight).
Radzimah also reminded road users to tap the Touch ‘n Go card on the tracking device at the toll lanes for the purpose of verifying highway entry and exit even though no toll fee is being charged at certain times as previously announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Motorists can also refer to the official social sites of the Malaysian Highway Authority or ANIH Berhad on Twitter @LLMTrafik @LPTTrafik or Facebook @Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia and @Lebuhraya Pantai Timur or call the LLM hotline at 1800-88-7752 and LPT-Line at 1-700-818-700 for more information.
