SHOPPERS and business owners along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (TAR) in Kuala Lumpur are divided on the recent move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall to close the main road to traffic from Jalan Esfahan junction to Jalan Melayu junction during weekends on a one-month trial.

Shoppers felt the move to limit the 500m stretch of Jalan TAR just for pedestrians on Saturdays and Sundays would offer a safer environment for them while shopowners felt the closure would affect their earnings.
