Heavy vehicles banned from highway 6.30-9.30am

You should not be able to see this scene during your way to work for those who travel using NKVE, NSE or FHR2 soon. Next Monday onwards ( August 2) our government has banned all heavy vehicle from using few of the busy stretches of the highways from morning 6.30am to 9.30am. This is said to ease the traffic congestion, as it was claimed that slow movement of this heavy vehicles such as truck, heavy duty lorry is one of the main factor that cause traffic congestion.

To be specific, Heavy vehicles either laden and unladen as long as weight 10 ton and above will not be banned using the routes involved. Which are, from the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) between Shah Alam and Jalan Duta, the North South Expressway (NSE) between Sungai Buloh and Bukit Lanjan and Federal Highway Route 2 (FHR2) between Subang and Sg Rasau.

If the lorry driver is travelling half way as they enter the 3 hours banned (6.30-9.30am), those drivers will need to pull over at the rest area to wait 3 hours before continuing their journey, else just use an alternative router. Pity those lorry drivers.
