Riders’ parking woes an uphill battle Cycling encouraged but designated spots to chain their bikes insufficient

Many bicycle parking bays in Penang, like this one in the Batu Lanchang market, are more ornamental than practical. Nothing to stop motorcyclists from using this one.

PENANG Island City Council (MBPP) is a well-oiled machine when it comes to enforcement.

Abandon all hope of getting away with parking on the yellow line here. MBPP’s enforcement teams speedily fine recalcitrant motorists, clamp or tow away their cars and tackle illegal hotels and hawkers.
