Lebuh Tek Soon
Tek Soon Street is an important side street in George Town. It runs from Maxwell Road at one end to Penang Road at the other. As it is crossed by several major roads, the traffic along Tek Soon Street is diverted one day. Between Penang Road and Jalan Ria, the traffic is one way in Penang Road's direction. Between Jalan Ria and Lebuh Lintang, one way towards Lebuh Lintang. Between Lebuh Lintang and Carnarvon Street, it was two-ways but the construction of Mutiara Parade has caused traffic to be blocked. Finally, between Carnavon Street and Maxwell Road, within the Sia Boey area, it is two ways.
Tek Soon Street was named after the 19th century Hakka tycoon Cheah Tek Soon, who is best remembered for building Goh Chan Lau.
