Markings at traffic lights to prevent riders from getting onto pedestrian crossing


Motorcyclists stopping their vehicles in the dedicated orange box at the junction between Jalan Perak and Jalan Datuk Keramat in George Town.

IF you happen to see orange box road markings with motorcycle and bicycle symbols on them in front of a traffic light, don’t worry, as this is a new initiative by the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) to ensure the safety of road users especially motorcyclists.

MBPP Infrastructure and Traffic Committee alternate chairman Edward Tan said the pilot project, which began early February, was aimed at instilling awareness among motorcyclists to stop within the box and not at the pedestrian crossing.
