Penang roads amazingly quiet for the holidays

Easy street: The usually busy road at Datuk Keramat Road in George Town was uncharacteristically quiet on the eve of Chinese New Year.

GEORGE TOWN: If you are still on your Chinese New Year break and have nothing urgent on your to-do list, going on a short holiday, such as to Penang, might be an idea.

The roads in Penang are surprisingly quiet for the holiday season, and this is the observation of the traffic police, the Penang Bridge operator and locals.
