at the Bukit Kiara Toll Plaza, followed by the Damansara Toll
Plaza, and then the Pantai Toll Plaza. The average weekday
tollable traffic on SPRINT Highway grew 4.4%, numbering
237,000 vehicles compared to 227,000 vehicles recorded
in the previous financial year. This, however, is lower than
the 5.6% growth rate recorded in the previous financial year.
As such, the management is continuing to work on
increasing traffic revenue and is undertaking to add new
traffic signages along surrounding roads and highways to
enhance traffic flow to SPRINT Highway.
The ongoing construction works for the KVMRT, SBK Line
also impacted the operations of SPRINT Highway. The
management is working with the relevant parties to ensure
minimal lane closures during peak hours and the necessary
rules and guidelines are strictly adhered to. This is to ensure
that prolonged lane closures are implemented appropriately
and managed accordingly to minimise traffic inconveniences.
Toll increases due on LDP and SPRINT Highway continued to
be deferred with the Government of Malaysia compensating
both Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd (LITRAK) and Sistem
Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat Sdn Bhd in accordance with the
provisions of the Concession Agreement.
The Government of Malaysia also instructed for the
reduction of toll charges for the SAE on 15 January 2013,
applicable for various classes of vehicles. The Government,
however, agreed to compensate for the toll reduction based
on the Supplemental Concession Agreement, which is
expected to be formalised soon. The reduced toll charges
will be in force until December 2015.
Traffic volumes on the other highways in the division, namely
SAE and SMART continued to be stable and resilient,
chalking up modest traffic volume growths.
