GEORGE TOWN: The start of the 2023/24 school year coupled with an early morning downpour led to traffic congestion in various parts of Penang on Monday (March 20), especially on the island.

Traffic was reported to be at a crawl in the morning along many roads leading to schools, including in Ayer Itam and Bayan Baru.
