Abstract
Road accidents are one of the most relevant issues in today's society. It causes hundreds of accidents every year from over the world. Every year 1.2 million of people are killed and between 20 and 50 million people are offended due to the road accidents. Three main types of accidents in Malaysia is collision with passenger cars, collisions with other motorcycles and single-motorcycle accidents. F0050 is ranked the district with the highest road fatalities in Johor for five consecutive years. Motorcyclists and their pillion riders were the highest contributors - 60% or 648 fatalities, followed by car drivers and passengers numbering 266 fatalities. One reason of accident occurrence can be lack of road design consistency which most drivers make fewer errors in the vicinity of geometric features. Geometric design consistency is emerging as an important component in highway design relate to the safety performance. The result shows the continuous speed profiles along F0050. Since motorcyclist have a higher fatality per distance traveled, this study will develop the potential relationship between design consistency which is represented by continuous speed profiles by using Global Positioning System (GPS). © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 Language: en

Summary
MATEC Web of Conferences and car collision than car and car collisions motorcyclist involved were 95.4% likely to be injured while car drivers were 0.9% likely to be injured [4]. Motorcyclist is 17 times more dangerous than passengers car and the motorcyclist will be in front of higher risk of injury or fatality because the level of exposure to injury is higher if compared to other vehicle such a passenger car in accident [5]. The reason why road accident keep rising in Malaysia because one of the lack of road geometric design consistency where the drivers make a fewer errors due to the road geometric features. Geometric design consistency is emerging as an important component in highway design relate to the safety performance. Geometric design is influenced by the vehicle, drivers and traffic characteristics. Geometric design elements that influence traffic operations include number and width of lanes, the presence and widths of shoulders and highway medians, and the horizontal and vertical alignment of the highway
