Abstract
Motorcyclists contributed almost 60% of the fatal accidents in Malaysia. One of the effective engineering approaches to tackle this problem is by segregating these vulnerable road users from other motorized traffic through the provision of an exclusive motorcycle lane. At present there are no specific standards that are available to assess design criteria of exclusive motorcycle lanes. However, it is important to specify optimum control width for exclusive motorcycle lanes to ensure that the design of exclusive motorcycle lane is safe for all motorcycle riders. The estimation of safe control motorcycle lane width was based on a logistic regression. The dependent variable is status with respect to rider comfortable level in overtaking maneuver. The resulting analysis was used to suggest a safe control width of pavement for a straight section of an exclusive motorcycle lane. Result indicates that the safe control width of exclusive motorcycle lane should be 3.81 meters.
