Persiaran Mahsuri, Bayan Baru

Persiaran Mahsuri at Elit Avenue, Bayan Baru (15 December 2019)


Persiaran Mahsuri is one of the main roads in Bayan Baru, Penang. It starts at Jalan Tengah in the south and ends after Pesara Mahsuri 3 in the north.

Persiaran Mahsuri was built over former paddy fields. It forms intersections with Persiaran Mahsuri 1/Jalan Mayang Pasir 2 and with Jalan Mahsuri. The section between Jalan Tengah and Jalan Mahsuri is lined with Tabebuia trees which are very pretty when they are in full bloom. The area was reclaimed and the ground stablised in the late 1970s, but remained undeveloped until the 1990s, when different parts of the road began to experience development.

Traffic along Persiaran Mahsuri ranges from low to high depending on the time of day. It is busiest during the morning and evening rush hours, though traffic volume here is still lower than that of Jalan Mahsuri. The road does become congested every time there is an event happening at PISA (which will soon be known also as SPICE). Several construction projects are taking place along Persiaran Mahsuri. These when completed are expected to increase the traffic volume.

In November 2012, a traffic island built on the northern arm of Persiaran Mahsuri caused the residents of neighbouring Taman Melati Jaya to stage a protest, as the design did not take into account their well-being, preventing them from returning home. This forced a redesign of the traffic island into a roundabout.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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