PIERCE is the proper spelling of an English given name. PEIRCE I have not seen before, but it could be someone's surname. I'll drive round to these roads and check what they've put on the signs.

OK, confirmed it is PEIRCE, not PIERCE. I will log a post in Penang, Kedah & Perlis Change/Error Feedback (Nov-Dec 2010) for Penangguy.

Link to The Star article (26/11/2010).

A 17.84km stretch of highway from Weld Quay to Batu Maung has been renamed the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway with immediate effect.

...

It involved four sections - the JE from Prangin Road Ghaut to Jalan Tengku Kudin (4.14km), an unnamed stretch under the responsibility of the Malaysian Highway Authority from the elevated interchange of the Penang Bridge to Jalan Tengku Kudin (2.53km), Lebuh Sungai Nibong between the Penang Bridge elevated interchange and Jalan Tun Dr Awang (3.19km), and the Bayan Lepas Coastal Highway between Jalan Tun Dr Awang and the junction of Jalan Batu Maung/ Jalan Permatang Damar Laut (7.98km).

Lim said the expressway was linked, via Prangin Road Ghaut, to Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong, which is named after Dr Lim’s father.

...

North-bound carriageway (to George Town): N5.28490 E100.28767 to N5.41064 E100.33489
South-bound carriageway (to Batu Maung): N5.41051 E100.33498 to N5.28490 E100.28767
