Lebuh Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Lebuh Pudu, Kuala Lumpur (6 July, 2016)


Lebuh Pudu, often also written as Leboh Pudu, is a relatively narrow street in the inner city of Kuala Lumpur. It connects Jalan Hang Kasturi in the west to Jalan Tun Perak in the east. In between, it forms intersections with Jalan Tun HS Lee, Jalan Petaling and Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin. A section near the Jalan Tun Perak junction has a covered canopy for the bus station. At its western end, Lebuh Pudu bends sharply to continue as Jalan Hang Kasturi.

Traffic flow on Lebuh Pudu is one way. Emerging from Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, traffic continues in opposite directions towards Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Hang Kasturi. The road is two lanes throughout.

Lebuh Pudu appeared on the earliest maps as Pudoh Street. It was then written as Pudu Street, before becoming Leboh Pudu and/or Lebuh Pudu. Its name in Cantonese is Bun3 Saan1 Baa1 Lou6 (written in Jyutping romanisation), which means "half a jungle road". In Hokkien, it is pronounced as Pnua1 Snua3pa3 Lor33 (written in Taiji romanisation), and in Mandarin, it is 半山芭路 or Bàn Shānbā Lù (in Pinyin romanisation).
