AT THE traffic lights junction at Lebuhraya Thean Tek and Jalan Thean Tek in Bandar Baru Ayer Itam, Penang, there is a billboard with the message ‘Pulau Pinang Mesra Pejalan Kaki’ (Penang Pedestrian-Friendly) and ‘Pedestrian is king’.
Ironically, from the billboards along Lebuhraya Thean Tek until Medan Angsana 1, about 200m away, there are no pedestrian walkways on either side of this busy road. Worse still, part of the road is an accident-prone area.
