Two roads to become one-way street


TWO roads on Penang island will be turned into a one-way street soon to alleviate traffic congestion in the areas.
Penang Municipal Council councillor Muhammad Sabri Md Osman said the service road off Jalan Paya Terubong (next to Taman Bendera Apartments) and part of Jalan Irrawadi (between Service Road and Chow Thye Road) would be converted into one-way streets as part of an initiative to ease worsening daily traffic congestions on the island.
“We are giving it a three-month trial.
“We hope the system will help ease traffic congestion, as vehicles usually parked on both sides of the road are causing a jam.”
Muhammad Sabri said the council had also approved the installation of a pedestrian light in Lintang Macallum 1 for the safety of the pedestrians there.
“SJK (C) Li Tek’s pupils will be able to cross the road safely once the pedestrian light is installed,” he said after the full council meeting at the City Hall in the Esplanade, Penang.
“We expect to call for open tender within the three months.
“The project covers the laying of electric cables, setting up of the pedestrian light and the installation of electricity and road signs,” he said, adding that the estimated cost of the project would be RM70,000. - The Star
