GEORGE TOWN: With the speed limit reduced to 40kph on most roads within the Unesco World Heritage Site here, trishaw rider Roshidi Abdul Rahman now feels safer in a city known for its bustling traffic and tourist crowds.

“When motorists zoom past us, I always worry about being hit from behind. With a lower speed limit within the city, not just me but customers too will feel safer,” said the 59-year-old when met at Lebuh Armenian.
