Abstract
Road accidents are one of the world’s largest public health and injury prevention problems. In Malaysia, the west coast area of Malaysia been stated as the highest motorcycle fatalities and road accidents are one of the factors that cause of death and injuries in this country. The most common fatal accident is between a motorcycle and passenger car. The most of the fatal accidents happened on Federal roads with 44 fatal accidents reported, which is equal to 29%. Lacks of road geometric designs consistency where the drivers make mistakes errors due to the road geometric features causes the accident kept rising in Malaysia. Hence, models are based on operating speed to calculate design consistency of road. The profiles were obtained by continuous speed profile using GPS data. The continuous operating speed profile models were plotted based on operating speed model (85 th percentile). The study was conduct at F0023 from km 16 until km 20. The purpose of design consistency is to know the relationship between the operating speed and elements of geometric design on the road. As a result, the integrated design consistency motorcycle and cars along a segment at F0023, the threshold shows poor design quality for motorcycles and cars.

Summary
Road accidents are one of the world’s largest public health and injury prevention problems. About one million people are killed, three millions are severely disabled for life and thirty millions are injured in road accident according to WHO. Malaysia is one of the developing countries that facing road accidents in Asian and road accidents are one of the factors that cause of death and injuries in this country. In 2010, the federal government estimated that the number of deaths on motorcycles was 30 times the number of death in cars, per miles travels [1]. The most common fatal accident is between a motorcycle and passenger car. Most of the road accidents were attributed to motorcyclists with 92 cases reported, which is equivalent to 61% of the 150 accidents recorded. According to [2], in early investigation shows that motorcycle accidents are 17 times more dangerous than driving a passenger car
