The shoulders of this road are lined by pre-war buildings with unique features that have been preserved. Retail shops like KSGILLS, GS Gill, P. Lal and PH Henry have locations here. Modern shopping complexes are the Sogo and Maju Junction.

Every Saturday between 5 pm to 10 pm, Lorong Tuanku Abdul Rahman is closed to vehicles to make room for a night market that offers a variety of fabrics, textiles, clothing, domestic items and food at attractive prices.[1]
