I
suspect the General elections in Malaysia is due very soon and the Ruling BN
party needs every vote in can get. Make another promise and this time to the
hundreds of thousands poor suffering motorcyclists. A promise from BNGovernment
needs to be repeated for 5 General elelctions before if the promise
materializes. Fat hopes dear motorcyclists , another empty promise and why now
not earlier. All because it cost money and motorcyclists are from the low
income group that the Government can buy with RM 2 of free fuel .LOL

Malaysian
Authorities finally giving focus to rain shelters for motorcyclists
KUALA LUMPUR, 22 March 2017:
All road concessioners have
been instructed to provide motorcycle shelters at certain locations for
the comfort of motorcyclists.
As such, the Malaysian Highway Authority
(MHA) is suggesting that the construction of a safe motorcycle shelter be
one of the requirements for the concessionaries.
The Works Ministry said the design of a
motorcycle shelter would be based on ensuring the safety of motorcyclists.
The Public Works Department (JKR) agreed
the matter should be given serious thought – especially at the design
stage, where social impact has to be a norm in design parameters and
assessments.
JKR also believe special bike lanes should
be constructed, in addition to building shelters, in view of an increasing
statistic of accidents involving motorcyclists.
The
department expressed concern to build these shelters as many motorcyclists
were seen taking shelter under bridges or underpass, thus inviting danger as
these are not convenient places to take shelter.
The department prepared two guidelines on
motorcycles, namely the design of motorcycle facilities and a geometric design
for motorcycle lanes.
The statement said all future road design
and construction has to incorporate these safety elements for motorcyclists as
well as other road users.
