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.

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
Manual On Traffic Control Devices, Road
Marking & Delineation
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restrictions are withdrawn.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.

Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
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 be
patterned 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.
Page 3

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
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 shown
in 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.
Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, K.L
Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
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 a
continuous 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
Page 4

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
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 interchange
areas 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.
Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, K.L
Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
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 than
120m, 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 the
distance 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.

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 General
Transvere 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.
Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, K.L
Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
4.2.2 Stop Lines
This 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 must
stop 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
Lines
These 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 gap
300mm strip. The triangular give way marking
can be used to supplement this give way line.
Refer to Fig.13.
4.2.4 Pedestrian Crossing Markings
Pedestrian 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
Page 7
 Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

be angle by not more than 30 degres where

local circumstances require it. Refer to Fig. 17 and 18.

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
Markings
Wide 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 General
Words, 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.
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 Arrows
Arrows 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.

4.3.2.2 Words and Numerals

The 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 to
the 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.

4.3.4 Approaches to Railway
Crossing Markings
Pavement markings consisting of a cross, the
wording KERETAPI, a no-passing zone mark-
ing and stop lines shall be placed on all
approaches 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 Limits
The 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 should
be 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 all
traffic. 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 Boxes
These are painted at intersections to indicate
a prohibition of parking or waiting.
An example is as shown in Fig. 24.
Cawangan Jalan, Ibu Pejabat JKR, K.L
Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
4.3.8 Kerb Markings
Kerbs of medians and traffic island may be
painted and reflectorised if added visibility is
required.
Kerbs which may be a hazard to through traffic
may 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 the
roundabout 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
Page 9
 Manual On Traffic Control Devices,
Road Marking & Delineation
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY

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 also
encourage 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 design
Post 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.
The recommended spacings shall be at 18m
interval.
5.3 General requirements of Post
Mounted
5.3.1 The top of the post mounted delineator
should 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 minimum
spacing 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.

5.2 Colour and applications

Delineators 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 beyond
the 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.
