Why the Morning Rush?

Was it just me or the traffic in Kuala Lumpur since the Chinese New Year break has been horrendous? Usually, I leave my Gombak house at around 7.30, enough time to wave goodbye to my kids an reach Subang comfortably by 8.15 or so.
On a couple of occasions lately, if I were to leave that late, I would only reach the car park at around 8.45. An hour plus drive and the hassle to start off your day? A definitely detriment to my quality of life.
I think much of the problem was contributes by the new traffic flow at the intersection of DUKE and the Jalan Duta exit. Comes were put up at the entrance causing a sudden reduction from 3 to 1 lane. The queue could easily stretched for a couple of miles.
To avoid this, I took the NKVE route and exit at the Subang Jaya interchange. A slight jam free that but if I left early enough, it should a doddle. I then settled for a quick breakfast near the hospital ....
