    PREFACE

    The purpose of this manual is to establish uniformity in design and application of all traffic signs

    and control devices in Malaysia for the benefit of road users, road and traffic authorities, and man-

    ufacturers of traffic signs.This manual supersedes and forms part of the revised version of JKR/J(Rb) 0001,180, Manual On

    Traffic Devices - Traffic Signs. The manual is now divided into the following parts:

    1. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A/85 - Standard Traffic Signs. Standard traffic signs drawings for

    Regulatory, Warning and Guide signs are illustrated complete with dimensions. A colour chart

    for all the traffic signs indicates acceptable colours for each sign.

    2. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85 - Traffic Sign Applications.

    It consists of, with the exception of Temporary signs, design criteria and location requirements

    for all traffic signs.

    3. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2C/85 - Temporary Signs and Work Zones Control.

    It consists of standard temporary signs drawings and their application in the work zones.

    4. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2D/85 - Road Marking and Delineation. Standard road line paints, road

    markings and delineators are identified together with guides on their applications.

    The specifications in this manual are recommended to be used for new signs and for all replace-

    ments of existing signs which have outlived their usefulness.

    1.0 General Principles

    1.1 Road markings and delineations are used

    to regulate traffic or to warn or guide road

    users. They may be used either alone or to sup-

    plement other traffic control devices.

    1.2 All road markings and delineation, like

    other traffic control devices should be uniform

    in design, position and application so that they

    may be recognised and understood immediate-

    ly by all road users.

    1.3 Markings and delineators no longer appli-

    cable which may create confusion in the mind

    of the motorist shall be removed or obliterated

    as soon as practicable. Other markings and

    delineations required by road conditions or

    restrictions should be remove or obliterated

    when those conditions cease to exist or the

    restrictions are withdrawn.

    1.4 Markings which must be visible at night

    shall be reflectorised unless ambient allumina-

    tion assures adequate visibility. All markings on

    highways shall be reflectorised. Even on well

    lighted town and streets it is generally desirable

    markings which must be visible at night be

    reflectorised.

    1.5 In addition to reflectorised lines the use of

    road studs may be considered for roads with

    poor alignment or at dangerous situations, for

    eg. at important junctions and intersections.

    1.5 Pavement markings have definite limita-

    tions. They may not be clearly visible when

    wet, and may not be very durable when sub-

    jected to heavy traffic. Therefore they require

    frequent maintenance. Their effect on skid

    resistance requires care in the choice of materi-

    als to be used. Finally they cannot be applied

    to unsealed roads.

    2.0 Materials

    Road pavements may be marked by one or

    more of the following materials:

    a) Paint

    b) Thermoplastics

    c) Preformed tapes

    2.1 Paint (reflectorised and non-

    reflectorised)

    Only road line paints conforming to M.S. 164:

    1973, tested and approved by SIRIM shall be

    used. Paint is best used in situations and on

    roads where the markings are not subjected to

    heavy traffic wear.

    2.2 Thermoplastics (reflectorised

    and non-reflectorised)

    Thermoplastics used shall be of the hot-applied

    thermoplastics material conforming to B.S

    3262 or the equivalence. This material is

    applied hot and sets on laying. It has good

    durability and is recommended to be used in

    heavily travelled urban areas and in main high-

    ways with high traffic densities. All road centre

    lines shall be in thermoplastics.

    2.3 Preformed tape

    Markings in this material take the form of plas-

    tic sheet attached to the carriageway surface by

    means of an adhesive. The markings must bepatterned or embossed in order secure satisfac-

    tory resistance to skidding. It can be used as

    temporary markings because it can be removed

    easily even after an extended time period.

    3.0 Colours

    All pavement markings shall be white in

    colour. Yellow paint may be used at:

    a) Yellow boxes in the urban areas.

    b) kerb markings showing parking prohibi-

    tions covered by signs or ordinance.

    c) parking bays for taxis, buses and pedes-

    trian crossings.

    d) Yellow bars at approaches to round

    abouts and crosswalks.

    The standard colour for yellow markings shall

    be colour No.356 B.S. 381 C.

    4.0 Types of Markings

    Pavement markings are divided into the follow-

    ing types:

    i) Longitudinal lines

    ii) Transverse lines

    iii) Other markings

    4.1 Longitudinal Lines

    4.1.1 General

    A longitudinal line shall consists of either an

    unbroken or a broken line or a combination of

    both marked in the direction of travel.

    A broken line is used to separate moving vehi-

    cles where there is unrestricted visibility and

    may be crossed at the discretion of drivers.

    A single unbroken line is used where the cross-

    ing of the line is to be discouraged or is legally

    prohibited, e.g. edge and lane lines. Double

    unbroken lines or combinations of unbroken

    and broken lines are used where crossing of the

    lines is legally prohibited unless in the latter

    case where the broken line of the combination

    as viewed by a driver is to the left of the unbro-

    ken line.

    The dimensions of longitudinal lines are shownin Fig. 1. The thickness of the longitudinal lines

    should be 3 mm to 5 mm when applied by

    SC.reeding and 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm when

    sprayed.

    4.1.2 Centre Line

    A centre line is used to designate the centre of

    the travelled part of a roadway carrying traffic

    in both directions.

    It need not be at the geometrical centre of the

    pavement as in the case of a pavement- width

    transition where an extra uphill traffic lane is

    provided.

    4.1.2.1 Centre Lines on Rural Roads

    The centre line on a 2-lane rural road shall be a

    broken white line, 100mm wide. The broken

    line shall consists of strokes of equal length

    separated by uniform gaps. The speed of vehi-

    cles on the section of road or in the area in

    question should be taken into account in deter-

    mining the length of the strokes and of the gaps

    between them.

    The standard ratio of gap to stroke of 5 to 3

    shall be used. On rural roads use a gap of 7.5m

    with a 4.5m stroke. However, on mountainous

    terrain or with short radius curves, use a 4.5m

    gap with 2.7m stroke.

    On 4-lane undivided rural roads, the centre line

    shall consists of two unbroken white lines, each

    100 mm wide and separated by a space of

    125 mm.

    Centre lines shall be provided on all paved 2-lane roadways (including bridges), 5.5m or

    more in width if traffic volume is in excess of

    300 vehicles (A.A.D.T.) a day. On single lane

    bridges centre lines shall be discontinued 30m

    from each abutment.

    4.1.2.2 Centre Lines on Urban Streets

    The centre line on a 2-way urban street having

    2 lanes shall be a broken white line, and

    100mm wide. For the more busy city streets acontinuous white line, 100mm wide, may be

    used where it is desirable to discourage cross-

    ing of the line.

    The centre lines on a undivided 2-way street

    with 4 or more lanes shall be a continuous

    double white lines, each 100mm wide and sep-

    arated by a space of 125 mm. In urban areas,

    the length and spacing of the strokesshould be

    less than those used for rural areas. The strokes

    may be reduced to lm with 1.7m gaps. On cer-

    tain main urban arteries where traffic moves

    fast, however, the characteristics of centre line

    markings may be the same as for rural areas.

    4.1.2.3 Lane lines

    Lane lines are useful in organising traffic into

    its proper channels,thereby increasing the effi-

    ciency of the use of the roadway. They should

    therefore be used:

    (i) on all rural highways with 4 or more lanes,

    in addition to the centre lines.

    (ii) at approaches to important intersections

    and crosswalks and in dangerous locations,

    both on rural highways and city streets.

    (iii) on one-way streets where maximum effi-

    ciency in the utilization of the roadway is

    desired.

    4.1.2.4 Lane Lines on Rural Roads

    They shall be broken white lines, 100mm wide

    with 4.5m strokes and 7.5m gap. An unbroken

    line may be used to accentuate the lane mark-

    ing in critical areas and more clearly define the

    traffic lanes where it is advisable to discourage

    lane changing, in locations such as interchangeareas where unnecessary lane changing is detri-

    mental to smooth traffic flow.

    4.1.2.5 Lane Lines on Urban Street

    On city streets lane lines shall also be broken

    lines but a gap/stroke length of 1.7m and lm is

    recommended. The unbroken line may also be

    used to discourage lane changing especially at

    interchange areas. Fig.2 shows general pave-

    ment markings in urban street.

    4.1.3 No passing zones marking

    No-passing zones shall be established at verti-

    cal and horizontal curves and elsewhere on 2-

    lane (or 3-lane) highways, where passing must

    be prohibited because of dangerously restricted

    sight distance or other hazardous conditions.

    See Fig. 3.

    No-passing zones shall be marked by a double

    continuous white line or a combination of con-

    tinuous and broken lines as described in clause

    4.1.1 Nopassing zone markings on road pave-

    ments shall be not less than 120m in length. If

    the actual no-passing distance is less than120m, the additional length of marking shall be

    added at the beginning of the zone, unless the

    length of road with sight distance below the

    minimum required is less than 30m in length

    then no barrier lines are necessary.Where

    sucessive nopassing zones are less than 120m

    apart, the no-passing markings shall be extend-

    ed to the two zones.

    The no-passing barrier lines should also be

    used on two-way roadways at pavement width

    transitions and on approaches to obstructions. It

    may also be used on approaches to intersec-

    tions.

    4.1.3.1 Warrants for No-passing

    Zones at Curve

    A no-passing zone at a horizontal or vertical

    curve is warranted where the sight distance as

    defined below is less than the minimum neces-

    sary for safe passing at the prevailing speed of

    traffic. Sight distance on a vertical curve is thedistance at which an object 1.2m above the

    pavement surface can just be seen from another

    point 1.2m above the pavement. Similarly the

    sight distance on a horizontal curve is taken as

    the distance measured along the centre line

    between two points 1.2m above the pavement

    on a line tangent to the embankment or other

    obstruction that cuts the view on the inside of

    the curve.

    A curve shall warrant a no-passing zone

    and shall be so marked where the sight distance

    is equal to or less than that listed below for the

    prevailing 85 persentile speed:

    *85percentible speed is the speed below which

    85% of the traffic travel, and above which 15%

    travel.

    The biginning of no-passing zone is that point

    at which the sight distance first become less

    than that point at which the sight distance

    again becomes greater than the minimum spec-

    ified.

    Figures 4 and 5 shows the methods of estab-

    lishing no overtaking zones on vertical curve.

    4.1.4 Warning arrowsThese warning arrows should only be appli-

    cable on rural roads. Drivers must be given

    warning of their approach to any arrangement

    of double lines by three arrows on the carriage-

    way directing them towards the left hand side

    of the road.Approach warning arrows are usually

    positioned in the centre of the carriageway. The

    dimensions and spacings of the arrows is as

    shown in Fig. 6.

    4.1.5 Climbing LanesClimbing lanes are provided at steep grades

    on roads carrying high traffic volumes contain-

    ing a significant proportion of heavy vehicles.

    The typical treatment of signs and pavement

    markings is given in Fig.7. An alternative sys-

    tem is as shown in Fig.8.

    4.1.6 Pavement Edge LinesPavement edge lines should be 150 mm

    wide. Edge lines are used wherever it is desir-able to discourage travel on road shoulders and

    to make driving safe and more comfortable,

    particularly at night, by providing a continuous

    guide for drivers. They also act as a guide past

    object which are close enough to the edge of

    the road pavement to constitute a hazard. The

    edge line of pavement with no marginal strip

    should be at least 150 mm from pavement

    edge.

    On divided roads where the median is not suffi-

    ciently delineated, pavement edge lines may be

    provided on the right hand edge of each pave-

    ment.

    Application of edge lines is as shown in Fig. 9

    4.1.7 Continuity LinesA continuity line 200mm wide with lm

    strokes and lm gaps may be used to indicate

    the edge of that portion of a carriageway

    assigned to through traffic, and where it is

    intended that the line be crossed by traffic turn-ing at an intersection, or entering or leaving an

    auxiliary lane at its start or finish. Examples of

    continuity lines used at ramp exits and

    entrances are shown in Fig.10.

    4.1.8 Pavement-Width Transitions

    A transition line should be provided to guide

    or deflect vehicles laterally at points which:

    (i) The width of the carriageway changes

    a greater or lesser number of lanes.

    (ii) Traffic has to negotiate median, trafficislands, safety zones, or obstructions

    on the roadway.

    Pavement-width transition lines shall be

    200mm wide. Transition lines may be single

    broken, single unbroken, or double lines in

    accordance with the situation. They shall be of

    standard design as for centre lines, lane lines or

    barrier lines. The required length of the

    transition line shall be determined by the

    following formula:

    (i) L = 0.15V x W to 0.30V x W

    for deverging or minor changes.

    (ii) L = 0.45V x W to 0.6V x W

    for merging areas. Use the highervalue when traffic volume are high.

    where L = Length of transition (m)

    V = 85 percentilespeed(km.p.h.)

    W = Lateral off$et (m)

    provided that the length of line shall be

    not less than 60m in rural areas and 30m

    in urban areas.

    4.1.9 Turn Line

    Turn line may be used within major or com-

    plex intersection to indicate the proper course

    to be followed by turning vehicles.

    They shall be broken lines 100mm wide with a

    stroke of 600am and a gap of 600mm.

    4.2 Transverse Lines

    4.2.1 GeneralTransvere lines are marked across the road and

    are generally associated with intersection or

    junction controls, or traffic signals.

    Transvere lines should be wider than longitudi-

    nal lines because of the narrowing which

    results from the low angle at which they are

    viewed.

    They shall be of non-skid materials and shall

    protrude 5 mm above the level of the carriage-

    way.

    4.2.2 Stop LinesThis shall be unbroken line 300mm wide.

    They shall extend across the traffic lanes

    approaching traffic signals or at STOP sign. It

    indicates the point behind which vehicles muststop when required. At STOP signs where visi-

    bility is restricted, the driver's line of sight, the

    need for a pedestrian crossing and the clearance

    from traffic in the intersecting roadway should

    be considered when positioning the STOP line.

    STOP lines shall generally be either parallel to

    the line of the intersecting roadway, or at right

    angles to vehicles approaching the line. They

    shall ordinarily be placed 1.2m in advance of

    and parallel to the nearest crosswalk line. In the

    absence of a marked crosswalk, the stop line

    should be placed not more than 10m nor less

    than 1.2m for the nearest edge of intersecting

    roadway.

    Refer to Figures 11 and 12.

    If a stop line is used in conjunction with a Stop

    Sign, it should normally be placed in line with

    the stop line. However, if a Stop Sign cannot be

    located exactly where vehicles are expected to

    stop, the Stop Sign line should be placed at the

    Stopping point.

    4.2.3 Holding Lines or Give Way

    LinesThese lines are marked across the mouth of an

    intersection when vehicles on the other arms

    of the intersection have the priority of way.

    The holding lines or give way lines are to sup-

    plement the give way sign. They should be

    placed not more than 10m nor less than 1.2m

    from the nearest edge of intersecting roadway.

    The width of these lines are to be 200mm and

    marked in a gap/stroke ratio of 300mm gap300mm strip.The triangular give way marking

    can be used to supplement this give way line.

    Refer to Fig.13.

    4.2.4 Pedestrian Crossing MarkingsPedestrian crossing (Zebra) Markings. This

    shall consist of a series of strips 600mm wide.

    The width of the crosswalk should be from 1.8

    to 3.6m wide. The crossing shall normally be at

    right angles to the road centre line but it may

    be angle by not more than 30 degres where

    local circumstances require it.

    Crosswalk lines at intersections controlled by

    traffic signals or stop sign can also be of solid

    white lines of 150 mm wide 1.8 to 3.6m apart.See Fig.13

    4.3 Other Markings

    4.3.1 Diagonal and Chevron

    MarkingsWide diagonal markings as shown in Fig-14

    may be applied to areas of pavement which are

    not intended for use by moving vehicles.

    They define splayed island approaches,or

    obstructions, sealed shoulders, painted island

    and medians and areas separating exit ramps

    from the carriageway. An example is shown in

    Fig. 15.

    4.3.2 Message on

    4.3.2.1 GeneralWords, numerals and symbols to convey guid-

    ing, warning or regulatory message to drivers.

    They should be elongated in the direction of

    traffic movement in order that they may be leg-

    ible at the maximum ditance. Legibility dis-

    tance is increased by enlarging the length of

    characters.

    4.3.2.2 Words and NumeralsThe length of letters and numerals should be

    not less than 2.4m in urban areas but on high-

    speed roads may need to be at least twice this

    length. The dimensional proportions of letters

    and numerals should be as shown in Fig. 16.

    A message should, if' possible, be confined to

    one line. If the message consists of more than

    one word, the first word should be nearest tothe approaching driver. On high speed roads

    the space between the lines should be at least

    four times the height of the character. For low

    speed, urban situations, the separation between

    lines may, if necessary, be from one-half to one

    times the character height.

    Refer to Fig. 17 and 18.

    Word messages for use on road pavements

    include the following:

    (i) IKUT KIRI(ii) LORONG LAJU

    (iii) AWAS

    (iv) SAJA

    (v) PERLAHAN

    (vi) KERETAPI

    4.3.3 ArrowsArrows are used to ensure correct lane usage

    at approaches to intersections, exit ramps and

    other control points. Pavement arrows as

    shown in Fig. 19 are elongated similarly to let-

    ters or numerals.

    If any lane on the approach to an intersection

    is to be designated by means of arrows, at least

    three arrows should be placed in that lane to

    increase the probability of recognition. A spac-

    ing of 15 to 30m should be used between

    repeater arrows according to the size of the

    arrow, larger arrows being used for higher

    speed roads. Refer to Fig. 11.

    4.3.4 Approaches to Railway

    Crossing MarkingsPavement markings consisting of a cross, the

    wording KERETAPI, a no-passing zone mark-

    ing and stop lines shall be placed on allapproaches to railroad crossings whether with

    or without gates. This is a means of attracting

    the attention of the driver to the proximity of a

    railway level crossing.

    Refer to Fig. 20.

    4.3.5 Parking Space LimitsThe marking of parking space limits on

    streets encourages more orderly and efficient

    use of parking spaces, and tends to prevent

    encroachment on fire hydrant zones, bus stops,

    loading zones, approaches to corners, and

    clearance spaces for islands.

    All lines for parking space shall be solid lines

    not less than 100mm wide nor more than

    150mm wide. Angle parking is generally not

    desirable especially on narrow streets. Details

    of angle parking and parallel . parking spaces is

    as shown in Fig. 21. An example of markings

    for bus stops is shown in Fig. 22.

    4.3.6 Paved-shoulder Markings

    Wherever paved-shoulder exist, they shouldbe differentiated from the traffic lanes by a def-

    inite contrast in surface appearance, riding

    characteristics, and texture. The through traffic

    lanes and shoulder areas should be clearly

    defined at all times, particularly at night or in

    bad weather when visibility is poor.

    When the shoulder-pavement contrast is not

    sharp enough pavement edge line marking

    should be provided to indicate the edge of the

    traffic lane, in particular where the paved

    shoulder is not structurally adequate to carry alltraffic. Care should be taken to ensure that the

    shoulder will not appear as another traffic lane

    to drivers, in which case diagonal line mark-

    ings as shown in Fig. 23 may be warranted.

    4.3.7 Yellow BoxesThese are painted at intersections to indicate

    a prohibition of parking or waiting.

    An example is as shown in Fig. 24.

    4.3.8 Kerb MarkingsKerbs of medians and traffic island may be

    painted and reflectorised if added visibility is

    required.

    Kerbs which may be a hazard to through trafficmay be painted in black and white segments

    not exceeding 1.5m in length. All kerbs so

    treated shall commence and finish with a white

    segment. White segments may be reflec-

    torised.

    Kerbs at openings in a continuous median

    island need not be marked unless individual

    study indicates the need for this type of mark-

    ing.

    4.3.9 Transverse Yellow Bars at

    approaches to roundabouts and

    cross walks

    These markings consist of yellow thermoplastic

    lines 5 mm thick laid across the carriageway.

    The pattern of the transverse yellow bar mark-

    ings for use on the approaches to roundabouts

    and cross walk is as illustrated in Fig. 25 and

    26. The first bar shall be laid at a distance of 35

    metres measured back along the centre line of

    the carriageway from the give-way line at theroundabout and from the stop line at the cross

    walk. Successive line shall then be spaced in

    accordance with the measurements given in the

    tables of Fig. 25 and 26.

    These markings were designed to influence a

    driver to slow down after a period of sustained

    speed which may be acquired by a driver trav-

    elling on a highway or high speed roads.

    Transverse yellow bars should not be used on

    curves.

    5.0 Post Mounted Delineators

    Post delineators are effective aids for nightime

    driving. They are considered to be guide,

    markings rather than warning devices and

    should never be substituted for a proper warn-

    ing sign. The purpose of delineators is to out-

    line the edge of the roadway and to indicate the

    roadway alignment. Post delineators usually

    Manual On Traffic Control Devices,Road Marking & Delineation

    Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, K.L

    consist of reflector units (glass, plastic, or

    reflective sheets) mounted on suitable supports.

    Post mounted delineators are beneficial for hor-

    izontal curves over 5. It should be pointed out

    that whilst installation of such delineators or

    markers will assist night driving, it may alsoencourage drivers to increase speed. Unless

    other safety features are correspondingly

    increased, such installation can give drivers a

    false sense of security. Measures should be

    taken to improve the superelevation of the road

    at the bend.

    5.1 Materials and designPost delineators are simply reflector units

    mounted on suitable supports. Both the reflec-

    tor units and the supports should be of types

    approved by J.K.R. The reflector units may be

    of the circular corner-cube prismatic lens type

    and shall be not less than 75 mm diameter.

    They can also be made of glass, plastic, or

    reflective sheetings. Reflective sheetings should

    be of rectangular shape 180mm x 50mm and

    should be of the high intensity retro-reflective

    material.

    These reflector units must be capable of

    clearly reflecting light under normal atmos-

    pheric conditions from a distance of 300 meters

    when illuminated by the upper beam of stan-dard automobile lights. Timber posts should be

    of hardwood timber painted with stripes of

    black and orange. Detail of the delineator posts

    is as shown in Fig. 27.

    5.2 Colour and applicationsDelineators on curves shall be of silver or

    white colour placed on the left side of the road

    and shall be of red colour on the right side of

    the road, in the direction of travel. On the

    immediate approaches, in advance and beyondthe curve, the delineators shall be of silver or

    white colour, used in pairs, one on each side of

    the road directly apposite each other. See

    Fig.28.

    Red delineators are also to be used for delin-

    eation of roads through construction sites or

    temporary diversions where a higher degree of

    danger exists. They should be used sparingly to

    command respect an for it to be more effective.

    The recommended spacings shall be at 18m

    interval.

    5.3 General requirements of Post

    Mounted

    5.3.1 The top of the post mounted delineatorshould be 1.2m above the ground level.

    5.3.2 The reflector unit should be 50mm from

    the top of the post.

    5.3.4 Delineators should be placed at a con-

    stant distance from the edge of the roadway

    except that, where a guardrail or other obstruc-

    tions intrudes into the space between the pave-

    ment edge and the extension of the line of

    delineators, the delineators should be in line

    with or inside the innermost edge of the

    obstruction. See Fig. 29.

    5.3.4 Spacing should be adjusted on

    approaches and throughout horizontal curves

    so that several delineators are always visible to

    the driverso that several delineators are always

    visible to the driver. Table 1 below shows a

    suggested spacing on curves.

    Spacing for specific, radii not shown may be

    interpolated from the table. The minimumspacing should be 6 m. The spacing of the first

    delineator approaching a curve is 2S, the sec-

    ond 3S and the third 6S but not to exceed 90

    m. This is as shown in Fig.28.
