1990 => Cabinet Committee of Road Safety was formed

It’s duty => to formulate national road safety target to reduce road accident & fatalities

Target =>

- reduction 30% in death

- reduce death rate (accident death / 10,000 registered vehicles) to 4.0 by 2000

National Road Safety Target(review 2005)

Safety program start

2005 - Review original road safety targets to cater for new death trend contribute by road safety

implementation

New Road Safety Target (by 2010):

• 2.0 death / 10,000 registered vehicles

• 10.0 death / 100,000 peoples• 10.0 death / billion KM travelled

Original trend

New trend (forecast)

Forecast

Actual death



Safety Program/Initiative (MOWs

view)

• To achieve traffic accident reduction target setup by the Government, all relevant Governmentdepartments and agencies needed to give theircontribution. (MOW, MOT, PWD)

• The approaches taken followed the 4 E’sconcept: – education, engineering, enforcement & Environment.

– Note that PWD, MOW is a key player in engineeringaspect of road safety.

– Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (MIROS) was setup this year to carry out R&D on road safety.



Safety Program/Initiative (MOWs view) cont..

Few identified causes of accident

i. Combination of trafficcomposition

•Combination of multiple traffic

•Increase vehicle conflict in traffic

•Malaysian situation –

m/c > 60% ofvehicles population

ii. Improper intersectiondesign

Lack of geom etric design requ irement. i.e.not enoug h turning storage lane, not enoug hsight distances)

Total 5,446 6,975 12,421 100





iii. Street lightingrequirement•Lack of proper provision for street

lighting at particularly location;

•More at junction and location withhigh pedestrian activities during

nighttimes

iv. Traffic volume•Increase of traffic volume cancontribute to an increase of accident;

•i.e. section with ADT > 30,000, it is

47% probability for accident to occur at

that section

v. Pedestrian facilities•Not provided or not enough.

vi. Traffic Lights•Improper phase time provided.

vii. Vehicle speed•Less speed limit signage / none

existence.




Approaches used in Road Safety programmes

i. Accident Prevention Road safety Audit (stage 1 to

stage 5)

ii. Accident Reduction Improvement of hazardous

location

Motorcycle lane

Paving of road shoulder

Improvement of dangerous curve Pedestrian crossing

Overtaking lane

Street lighting

iii. Road Maintenance Patchin otholes cuttin rass

iv. Building New RoadConstruction of new road

Replacement of old bridges

Increase number of interchanges /

upgrading existing junctionImproving signalised junctions, etc.




Festive Seasons Road Safety Interventions

Festive season = 15 daysperiod during main festival.i.e. Hari Raya Aidilfitri, HariRaya Cina

known as OPS Sikap ( I – X)

Joint force between Ministry ofWorks (engineering), Ministry of

Transports (media campaign),Royal Malaysian Police, RoadTransportation Department(enforcement)

Inclusive of:

24 hrs. observation post andobservation tower at selected stretch;Increased number of temporarywarning signage at id. hazardouslocation;24 hrs. monitoring traffic at id.hazardous location;

Installed road stud, provide blinkers early warning;Repair all potholes;Stopped all road construction duringthe period.



Future Strategies And Challenges

of Road Safety

• Accidents statistics shows that estimated about79% accident occurred at State and Municipalroads;

• Current practice of road safety improvement only

on Federal road;• Cabinet Committee on Road Safety on 25 May

2004 have decided that: – road safety audit and road safety programmes to be

implemented onto State Road and Municipal Road. – In 9th Malaysian Plan, allocation of about MYR 200million was provided by the Government to improvethe highest 5 hazardous locations along state andmunicipal roads.



Conclusion

• Ministry of Works Malaysia, MOWs tried to provide abetter safety of road in Malaysia alongside with theGovernment efforts to reduce traffic accident and toachieve its safety targets.

• Although studies shown that causes to most of theaccident is because of the drivers themselves, MOWsalways make it positive effort in order to improve trafficaccident by giving further stress on engineering aspectwith proactive and reactive action during design,

construction and maintenance stage.• Hopefully, in future with better collaboration intra and

inter agency can improve more in road safety andfurthermore Government would achieve its deaths ratetarget.
