Plan to reduce traffic lights on Ipoh-Lumut route from 32 to 15

Too many traffic lights are lengthening the travel time between Ipoh and Lumut.

A PLAN to reduce the number of traffic lights on the Ipoh-Lumut road is in the pipeline with the Works Ministry studying the matter, says Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.

The state infrastructure, energy, water and public transport committee chairman said Ipoh was not far from Lumut but traffic lights lengthened travel time.
