Abstract
The main purose of this study is to analysis the speeding behavior during approaching the U-turn facility road segment based on driving simulation test. In previous studies, it has been shown that speeding behavior is a complex problem that requires a full understanding of drivers’ attitudes and beliefs. Such understanding is needed to improve the speeding behavior of drivers that comes from the effective design and interventions. Therefore, this study will analyse the speeding behavior in approaching the U-turn facility as a key variable in this study which may affect the collision result. Totally 50 participants were recruited in this experiments based on driving simulator. The scenarios and road environment in the driving simulator were based on site location at FT050 Jalan Batu Pahat – Kluang, Johor. Results shows significant increase in speed of up to 40.01% more than the speed limit at the approaching the Uturn facility road segment. The paper concluded that speeding behavior during approaching the U-turn facility road segment based on driving simulation test will trigger significant increasing of speed.
Highlights
This study is conducted to find out the driver speeding behavior in the area of U-turn at FT050 form Batu Pahat to Kluang
The data recorded by Royal Malaysia Police in 2012 [1] showed that accident rate were increasing every year where in year 2012 the number of accident was 62,316 with 1,073 fatal and location for this study which is in Batu Pahat, where it is the second highest in Johor the number of accident recorded was 7,439 with 176 fatal recorded which is the highest in Johor during that year
Research findings suggested that in general, speeding behavior of the driver in the area of the U-turn not affected by the signboard and the speed limit

The data recorded by Royal Malaysia Police in 2012 [1] showed that accident rate were increasing every year where in year 2012 the number of accident was 62,316 with 1,073 fatal and location for this study which is in Batu Pahat, where it is the second highest in Johor the number of accident recorded was 7,439 with 176 fatal recorded which is the highest in Johor during that year. Abdul Manan [2] and Abdul Manan & Várhelyi [3] mentioned that Batu Pahat – Kluang FT050 road recorded 1000 accidents and 36 deaths since 2006. This study was using the driving simulator to collect the data
