Hari Raya

Jurucakap Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) berkata aliran trafik di beberapa lebuh raya utama dan jalan-jalan menghala keluar dari Lembah Klang dilaporkan mulai sesak pada petang ini.

Ia disebabkan oleh peningkatan warga kota pulang berpusu-pusu ke kampung halaman bagi menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Pada masa yang sama, mereka dapat memanfaatkan tol percuma di semua lebuh raya yang akan berakhir pada jam 11.59 malam ini.

Menurut jurucakap itu lagi, aliran trafik ke utara sesak di Lebuh Raya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) dari Bukit Lanjan ke Rawang, Kawasan Rehat dan Rawat (R&R) Rawang ke Bukit Beruntung, Bukit Tagar ke Lembah Beringin, Tapah ke Gopeng, dan Terowong Menora ke Kuala Kangsar.

“Empat lorong Smart Lane telah diaktifkan bagi laluan ke utara membabitkan Kawasan R&R Rawang ke Sungai Buaya, Slim River ke Sungkai, Gua Tempurung ke Gopeng, dan Bukit Tambun ke Juru. Laluan berkenaan diaktifkan hingga jam 7 malam ini,” katanya kepada Bernama.

Bagi laluan ke selatan pula, katanya, kesesakan dilaporkan berlaku di Nilai ke Bandar Ainsdale, Port Dickson Selatan ke Pedas Linggi, dan Kulai ke Sedenak.

“Lorong Smart Lane juga telah diaktifkan, antaranya Nilai ke Kawasan R&R Seremban, Ayer Keroh ke Hentian Sebelah Bemban, dan Kulai ke Senai,” katanya.

Bagi laluan ke Pantai Timur, beliau berkata, trafik terkawal dan kesesakan hanya berlaku selepas Plaza Tol Gombak hingga ke Terowong Genting Sempah.

“Trafik sesak sepanjang 13 kilometer berikutan hujan, selain peningkatan kenderaan dan laluan mendaki di lokasi,” katanya.

In an effort to ensure road safety during the upcoming Hari Raya celebrations, PUSPAKOM has launched a voluntary vehicle inspection campaign from April 10 to April 20, 2023. 

  • The free inspection will run from April 10.
  • The initiative, which is aimed at all private vehicle owners and drivers, is being promoted with the hashtag #drivesafenoregrets.

PUSPAKOM is reminding the public, especially those traveling back to their hometowns during this festive season, to ensure that their vehicles are in top condition before starting their journey.

Vehicle owners who wish to take advantage of the free inspection, also known as Voluntary Vehicle Inspection (VVI), can walk in to any PUSPAKOM branch nationwide (except for the Shah Alam, Taman Bukit Maluri, and Pasir Gudang branches) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.

To further promote the campaign, PUSPAKOM is also organizing an easy competition for customers and deploying Mobile Inspection Units to offer free inspections at selected locations, including Wisma DRB-HICOM, MMU Cyberjaya (for staff only), Setia Alam Impian, and Lotus’s Ara Damansara.

According to PUSPAKOM CEO Mohammed Shukor Ismail, “The free vehicle inspection campaign in conjunction with the Hari Raya celebration aims to help vehicle owners identify the condition of their vehicles through computerized PUSPAKOM equipment. They can then use this information as a reference to perform proper maintenance.”

“We are offering VIP services to customers who undergo voluntary inspections, where they can walk in to PUSPAKOM without an appointment and enjoy priority service,” Shukor added.

PUSPAKOM sees the free vehicle inspection campaign as a corporate responsibility in raising public awareness about the importance of vehicle safety, particularly during festive seasons, said Shukor.

The voluntary vehicle inspection is focused on safety aspects such as brake, side slip, tire, suspension, emission, lights, upper and lower parts of the vehicle, dark mirrors, and more.

  • Zontes Malaysia and the Selangor state JPJ (Road Transport Department of Malaysia) sent a safe balik kampung message ahead of Hari Raya Puasa.

  • Event was held at the Bukit Jelutong Toll Plaza.

  • Zontes, JPJ and Prolintas handed out packages to motorists.

Zontes Malaysia and the Selangor state JPJ (Road Transport Department of Malaysia) sent a safe balik kampung message ahead of Hari Raya Puasa.

The proceedings took place today at the Bukit Jelutong Toll Plaza, as it’s the gateway to the Guthrie Corridor Expressway. JPJ officers gave away packages by Zontes Malaysia, the Guthrie Corridor Expressway concessionaire Prolintas Sdn. Bhd. and JPJ themselves.

Drivers were wished Selamat Hari Raya and to drive safely during their journeys back home for the celebrations. They rather surprised that to receive such packages from the JPJ. Many had expression of doubt and even fear when they saw JPJ officers waiting at the toll booths.

Indeed, many motorcycles were using the main carriageway instead of the fully-functional motorcycle lane. A number of riders made illegal U-turns against the traffic upon seeing the officers. Some even sped past the officers when waved to stop to receive packages It was an embarrassing and frustrating scene for those present at the event.

However, those who did use the motorcycle lanes received the packages and a well-earned pat on the back by the JPJ officers, besides being wished a good journey.
