Speed limit on all federal roads reduced by 10 km/h for CNY

Minister of Works Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has announced that the speed limit on all Federal roads across the country will be reduced from 90 km/h to 80 km/h starting tomorrow until February 2 in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

According to Nanta, this temporary speed limit reduction for six days during the Integrated Operation aims to minimise the risk of road traffic accidents.

“During this period, road repair and maintenance works that are not critical will also be temporarily halted so as not to disrupt traffic flow while emergency works for the safety of road users will be properly planned.

“If necessary, alternative routes will be provided so as not to disrupt the journey of road users,” he said.

In addition, Nanta stated that he has also directed the North-South Expressway Project (PLUS) to temporarily halt the widening of lanes along the Sedenak-Kulai stretch from January 23 to February 3 to ensure smooth traffic on the highway.
