Jalan Arumugam Pillai is one of the major roads in Bukit Mertajam. It connects the northern part of town to the commercial heart. Jalan Arumugam Pillai begins at the junction with Jalan Abdul Kadir (state route P3) and Jalan Berapit (state route P131), and ends at the junction with Jalan Sungai Rambai and Jalan Muthu Palaniappan.

Jalan Arumugam Pillai forms junctions with Aston Road, Jalan Ciku, Jalan Datuk Ooh Chooi Chong and Jalan Pasar. While one can drive from the north end to the south end of Jalan Arumugam Pillai, due to its complicated traffic flow in the opposite direction, it is not possible to do the same the other way.

Jalan Arumugam Pillai was named after local prominent Tamil philantropist N. Arumugam Pillay @ NTS Arumugam Pillai, who also once served as the leader of the Penang branch of the political party, Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC). The late Arumugam Pillai was probably one of the most prominent Indian in the rubber industry, owning thousands of hectares of rubber plantation in Kedah. He passed away in India in 1989.
