The proposal for a 30 km/h limit in the zones mentioned is part of a wider “Streets for Life” campaign under the 6th United Nations Global Road Safety Week (UNGRSW), which aims to empower communities across Southeast Asia to implement the 30 km/h limit in areas where pedestrians mix with motorised traffic, the road safety institute said in a statement.

A survey assessing motorcycle riders’ and drivers’ awareness and perception of highway work zones and service vehicles has been released by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS). The online survey – link here – in Bahasa Malaysia, asks a series of questions on type of motorcycle ridden, distance and time spent riding Malaysian highways and so on.
The questionnaire, spread across across seven pages, goes into detail on rider perception of highway specific situations such as encountering lane closures and highway service vehicles (not police and emergency vehicles.) The objective is to increase highway user perception of situations on the highway where work is carried out and increasing the measure of rider safety, especially for small displacement motorcycle riders using the emergency lanes.

The cars were tested over a period beginning November 15, 2012 and ending January 29, 2013. All of them are built in Malaysia, save for the Ford Fiesta and Nissan March, which are produced in Thailand. To be eligible for a five-star rating, a vehicle must have at least two airbags, electronic stability control and a seatbelt reminder, or it will only qualify for a maximum of four stars. Note that ‘MY’ above denotes the safety package introduction year.
No doubt you’re wondering why there are two Proton Sagas in the results list. The one-star car (base-spec, single airbag) was tested in December 2012; the three-star car, which was tested earlier this month, is fitted with the latest safety package that includes twin airbags, which will be standard across the range by February or March, according to Proton. It will be called the FLX+.
