School proposes one-way traffic flow

A ONE-way traffic system has been proposed for Jalan Ibbetson in Air Itam, Penang, during peak school hours.

The proposal was made by SJK (C) Chung Hwa Confucian A & B due to traffic woes faced by the two schools which share the same premises along the road and have a combined enrolment of 1,350.

Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai said the school authorities requested that the 200m-long road be made one way from 7am to 8am and 1pm to 2.30pm.

"These two periods are the busiest times when parents send and pick up their children. We will hold discussions with the Penang Municipal Council to see if the proposal can be implemented.

"In addition, we are also getting feedback from the school opposite, SJK (C) Shang Wu on their traffic condition," Wong said, adding the authorities would also get the opinions of other stakeholders including some 55 families there.

"We hope to come up with the best solution for all," he added.

Municipal councillor L. Prem Anand said the newly-formed MPPP Traffic Sub-Committee for Schools would look into the matter and come up with a decision soon.
