Traffic Jam at Green Lane exit.

Penang is famous for its traffic jam at the Green Lane Exit, when using the costal highway, especially when entering Penang Island via the Penang Bridge.
.

Years ago back when the only exit is the green lane exit, when i drove back from KL for the first time, i was stuck at this point for 1 hour, Imagine KL to Penang Bridge, 4 hours, then for a distance of around 2 km, it took me 1 hour.
.
.
With the New Jelutong Highway open all the way in to the Jetty, you did think that traffic at this spot will have ease. Yes it did, but it will still jam up, Why?
.
.
Well it is due to the drivers who jump que by driving on the left and then cramp them self in to the underpass toward green lane which is on the right lane. I will forgive those car with out of the state plates as they might not know which lane to use, but for the others.
.
.
I manage to get this snap of a car (circle) cutting in to the underpass as i was the passenger this day. I do hope that the Penang Police Chief or His traffic counterpart will place a traffic police man here, Oh the number of saman he can get will definitely exceed his quota for the month.

I used to travel using this road to get to Greenlane too last time. Hate these queue jumpers. Ppl queue up patiently and here are these inconsiderate morons who think they have all the priority to just cut in like that.
