Heavy Traffic Along Jalan Kuala Krai-Gua Musang As Travellers Head Home

GUA MUSANG, March 24 (Bernama) -- Slow traffic was reported along a 20-kilometre stretch of Jalan Kuala Krai-Gua Musang from the Rantau Manis Rest and Service (R&R) Area heading towards Gua Musang town.

Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo attributed the congestion to an increase in vehicles travelling back to the federal capital after the Aidilfitri celebrations.

“Road users are advised to remain patient and exercise tolerance on the roads to ensure smooth and safe traffic flow.

“The public is also advised to plan their journeys and drive carefully to prevent accidents that could worsen congestion,” he said when contacted by reporters today.

Meanwhile, a Bernama check of several main routes from Kuala Krai to Gua Musang, including near the Kesedar Paloh Land Development Plan (RKT), found that traffic was moving slowly as of 3 pm today, with delays expected.

Mohd Firdaus Nur Ahmad, 37, said he spent over three hours on the road from Kuala Krai to Gua Musang due to heavy traffic.

“I had to take a break at the Gua Musang R&R stop before continuing my journey back to the federal capital to get back to work tomorrow,” he said.
