Jalan Padang Lalang, Bukit Mertajam (3 January 2024)
Jalan Padang Lalang is a major road in Bukit Mertajam. It is the main road serving the neighbourhood of Padang Lalang. The eastern end of Jalan Padang Lalang connects with Jalan Sungai Rambai, at the junction with Jalan Betek. The western end is presently a no-through road. There is supposed to be a flyover to connect it with Jalan Permatang Batu, but as of the information on November 2017, this was not built yet. The flyover would carry Jalan Padang Lalang over the railway tracks.
For much of the length of Jalan Padang Lalang, you can see the railway tracks to its immediate north. Jalan Padang Lalang passes under the flyover of Jalan Nangka. Only the southern junction of Jalan Padang Lalang is connected to the Jalan Nangka flyover.
In 2012, the State Public Works Department had requested to the Transport Minister for the ramps to be constructed on the north side of Jalan Padang Lalang to connect with the flyover, but this was not carried out due to budget constraint.1

About this website
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
