Highlights
The City Council of Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) has decided to install Transverse Rumble Strip (TRS) at two (2) identified locations in Petaling Jaya
The selected sites are located at a curve section of Jalan Sultan heading to Jalan Barat (Site 1) and at a curve section on Jalan Timur heading to Jalan Sultan (Site 2), Petaling Jaya
This study was conducted in collaboration with the MBPJ City Council and Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS)
Summary
The City Council of Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) has decided to install Transverse Rumble Strip (TRS) at two (2) identified locations in Petaling Jaya. Due to unavailability of reliable findings pertaining the effectiveness of TRS in reducing speed as well as the use of TRS in the urban roads such as in the city of Petaling Jaya, this evaluation study is necesary to be conducted. The focus of this study is to look into the effectiveness of TRS along curve road sections. This is because higher accident rates have been found in sharp curves on road sections than any other road sections [1,2,3,4]. Speed-reducing devices include speed humps, raised pedestrian crossings, raised junctions (plateau junctions), rumble strips, narrowing road width and speed zones [5,6]
