Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) announced that it will limit private vehicle access for 10 roads in the city by 2025 in an attempt to turn them into pedestrian-only streets

The aim is to reduce the number of cars entering and congesting the capital. Over the next five years, several major roads will be closed in stages for a trial run.

In a report published by the New Straits Times yesterday, Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan said, “That’s our vision for the future of the city. It has been done successfully in Singapore and other countries.”
