Abstract

Motorcycle fatalities in Malaysia are the highest to be compared to other vehicle fatalities. The numbers keep rising year by year even though various measures were employed by the Malaysia government to address the nation's number one road accident fatalities. From the engineering aspect, it is very important to understand the behavior of motorcyclists and their interaction with the traffic and roadway conditions. Therefore the objective of this study are to identify traffic and roadway factors perceived risky by motorcyclists and to rank the most risky traffic and roadway factor as perceived by motorcyclists along the local roads. A video footage is produced to be evaluated by motorcyclists in Universiti Putra Malaysia. There are eight risk factor identified in this study and the risk factor are ranked from most risky to less risky as follows: 1) the presence of manhole, 2) bad pavement conditions, 3) the presence of on-street parking beside the road, 4) unsignalised junction, 5) the presence of mix traffic on the road, 6) the presence of pedestrian in the traffic system, 7) vehicle at junction, 8) narrow road.
