GEORGE TOWN: In just three days, 21 summonses were issued, 72 vehicles clamped and five towed away – and traffic on the island is moving smoothly, even with the school holiday influx.

A decision to declare five main streets in George Town as no-waiting zones from June 1 is reaping results, said Penang Island City Council (MBPP) enforcement director Noorazrein Noorazlan Ong.“Our enforcement has helped prevent unnecessary obstructions that could worsen congestion.“Traffic flow has improved at key locations, allowing both locals and visitors to move around smoothly even during the school holidays,” he said.
