Expressways of Penang (14 May 2009)
There are a number of expressways in Penang State but only one true expressway on Penang Island. Even then, the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway is not a true expressway from end to end, as it does not have controlled access all the way. In other words, there are turn-offs to Tesco in Gelugor and to the fishermen wharves all along the Sungai Nibong and Bayan Lepas stretches. In addition, there are at-grade intersections at Cecil Street, Macallum Street, Magazine Road Ghaut and Prangin Road Ghaut.
The true expressways in Penang are the North-South Expressway, the Butterworth Outer Ring Road and the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway. These are free of any at-grade crossings with other roads, railways or pedestrian paths, with no traffic signals, intersections and direct access from other roads or houses. All these are also toll roads, although the North-South Expressway is toll free from the Sungai Dua Toll Plaza in the north to the Juru Toll Plaza in the south.
Listed below are the expressways in Penang: Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway
Butterworth Outer Ring Road
Juru-Sungai Dua Bypass (planned)

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
