GEORGE TOWN: When you drive within the Unesco World Heritage Site here, be prepared to fork out RM150 for a speeding compound if you exceed the speed limit of 40kph.

The speed limit is imposed on all the roads within the core zone, except for main roads like Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong, Gat Jalan Prangin, Pesara King Edward, Lebuh Light, Lebuh Farquhar and Jalan Penang, where the speed limit remains at 50kph.
