| Strategies to ease traffic woes |
| |
| |
PENANG need to create more one-way streets and restrict private vehicles in congested areas, according to the Draft Penang Structural Plan (2005-2020). |
| |
| Another strategy to be adopted by the state is the introduction of an intelligent transport system including LMT (Light Monorail Transit) |
| |
| The report said roads in town areas were congested because of high-density development. |
| |
| The growing population following high-density development in towns has resulted in increase in number of vehicles and transportation demand, the report said. |
| |
| The report said there were plans to introduce water taxis as an alternative to bring commuters from Penang Island to Seberang Prai, Pulau Aman, Pulau Gedong and man-made islands. |
| |
| There are also plans to upgrade the Penang International Airport to increase its capacity to accommodate five million passengers annually. |
| |
| The port and the train transport system to Thailand would also be upgraded. |
