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 manufacturers 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 replacements of existing signs which have outlived their usefulness.

Materials

Thermoplastics (reflectorised
and non-reflectorised)
Preformed tape
Markings in this material take the form of plastic sheet attached to the carriageway surface by
means of an adhesive. The markings must be
patterned or embossed in order secure satisfactory resistance to skidding. It can be used as
temporary markings because it can be removed
easily even after an extended time period.

Types of Markings
Centre Line
may be reduced to lm with 1.7m gaps. On certain 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 efficiency 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 efficiency 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 marking 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 detrimental to smooth traffic flow.

L = 0.15V x W to 0.30V x W
for deverging or minor changes.
L = 0.45V x W to 0.6V x W
for merging areas. Use the higher
value when traffic volume are high.
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 longitudinal 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 carriageway.
