ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS SPECIAL LANES FOR MOTORCYCLISTS
KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 (Bernama) -- The Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) has proposed to the government to build more special lanes for motorcyclists as 60 per cent of traffic fatalities involved the riders.
The proposal followed a survey by AAM and a number of government and private
institutions which covered 3,700km of roads throughout Peninsular Malaysia,
association chairman Tunku Mudzaffar Tunku Mustapha said in the latest issue of
AAM bulletin 'Drive'.
Mudzaffar said that the survey identified roads which were safe or dangerous
for motorists and awarded them star ratings based on safety features.
He said roads with separate motorcycle lanes, good delineation and broad
road-shoulders were rated five-star while single carriageway or trunk roads with
narrow paved shoulder, sharp curves and poor roadside were reduced to one-star
rating.
