Abstract

The exclusive motorcycle lane (EML) at merging section in Federal Highway heading towards Kuala Lumpur at KM 28.4 has been segregated into two lanes via road marking. This study researches on the effect of the road marking by comparing the speed and gap of the exclusive motorcycle lane before and after road marking installation by using a TruSpeed Laser Speed Gun, a TDC Ultra Hand-held Traffic Data Collector and a Sony Hdr Videocam. The results show that there have been significant differences in the speed and gap of motorcyclists in the exclusive motorcycle lane after the installation of road marking. These differences can make a difference in the safety and health of motorcyclists using the exclusive motorcycle lane. The need for further research regarding motorcyclists and exclusive motorcycle lane in Malaysia may help the community with a design standard for exclusive motorcycle lanes.
