Speed limit in George Town heritage enclave to be reduced to 40kph

GEORGE TOWN: Motorists will soon have to drive at a slower speed in certain areas of the heritage enclave as the speed limit is set to be reduced.

Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Datuk Yew Tung Seang said the proposal to reduce the speed limit of 50kph to 40kph in certain parts of the heritage enclave was to cater to the heavy traffic flow and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
