“…Study by Ibitoye et al (2004) concluded that the W-beam guardrails are not adequately designed to prevent run off crash involving motorcycles since it was not considered as a test vehicle during the design of guardrail.…”

Road traffic crashes involving longitudinal traffic safety barriers, especially W-beam guardrails, are not uncommon. This shows the importance of the guardrails in performing its functions. In Malaysia, installation of the guardrails are according to a guideline published by REAM in 2006. However, the compliance of the barriers installation to the standards can be further verified to ensure its quality and integrity. Site survey on the barriers shows that compliance to the standards are high if it is installed and maintained under the concession, e.g. by PLUS Expressways Berhad. However, there are some issues concerning installation of barriers if it is under custodian of local authorities. The parameters used to measure the compliance, among others, are installation ground condition, overlapping, post height, post spacing, clear zone, guardrail conditions and sub-standards installation. It is suggested to the local authorities to give more emphasis on the inspection of existing barriers, as well as maintenance and replacement of barriers. This is because the barriers will not perform according to its function as it is intended under non-reliable conditions. The outcomes of this study will provide the road transport related agencies on the real conditions of W- beam guardrails installed on roads in Malaysia.

“…Using special lanes for motorcycles reduces accidents by approximately 39% for motorcycles [14], and potentially helps save drivers' lives and time [15]. According to previous studies, most research has studied the design of special traffic lanes for motorcycles, such as their suitable width [10,12], [16][17][18], the design of special lane protection devices for motorcycles [19,20], specific patterns of entrance and exit [21][22][23], and motorcycle lane markings for giving the directions [24], etc.There have also been studies on the psychological factors involved with motorcycle lanes , applying The Theory of Planned Behavior to examine the relationship between motorcyclists' psychological factors and risk behaviors in driving on traffic lanes for each vehicle type [13,25]. Although several previous studies have wholly mentioned accident management by providing a motorcycle special lane, which is a highly effective countermeasure to achieve motorcycle safety issues [26], there are still drivers who neither strictly obey the traffic rules nor consider their safety and those of other road users; it is hard to stop an accident.…”

The purpose of this paper was to test the differences in attitudes influencing motorcyclists' behavioural expressions of motorcycle lane use as classified by demographic data and attitude factors from an application of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) comprised of four factors: Attitude toward use, Subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and Behaviour intention. A questionnaire study of 1,004 motorcyclists in Nakhon Ratchasima province was conducted. Independent t-tests, One-Way ANOVA were used to analyze differences between motorcyclists' demographic data and components in the Theory of Planned Behavior. The findings revealed that different age groups and income levels had significantly different effects on perceived behavior control and behavior intention to use motorcycle lanes. While there were considerable differences in indications of attitude toward use and perceived norms across educational levels. Furthermore, perceived behavior control and behavior intention differed significantly across urban and rural areas, including driver's license status. Differences in location zone subjective norms, as well as attitudes toward the use of different driver's license statuses
