🛣️ LEKAS To Activate Smart Lanes
To manage peak-hour congestion, the LEKAS highway has announced the activation of the Smart Lane system starting this Thursday. This measure allows the use of the emergency lane as an extra lane during specific times to increase traffic flow. Authorities hope this intervention will alleviate the bottleneck issues currently plaguing commuters heading toward the city centre and southern corridors.

💻 Flexible Work Arrangements As Solution
Experts and commuters alike are advocating for Flexible Work Arrangements as the only sustainable path forward. As physical road expansion hits its limit, shifting toward remote work or staggered hours is seen as vital to reducing the number of vehicles on the road. Without widespread corporate adoption of flexible policies, Klang Valley’s traffic gridlock is expected to deteriorate further.
