【 摘 要 】

This study investigates factors associated with red light running motorcycle (RLR-MC) behavior during their approach and crossing of signalized 3-leg and 4-leg intersections along majors in Malaysia. Twenty-seven (27) intersections with Pre-timed traffic light (PTTL) and Actuated traffic light (ATL) were selected and observed during peak and off peak hour period. In general, the average rate of RLR-MC was 3.61%, with the highest rate of RLR-MC recorded was 22%, while the lowest rate was 0.6%. Observations have shown three-ways of RLR-MC approached the signalized intersection, i.e. (1) approaching the SI with Weaving/Lane Splitting, (2) approaching the SI from center of the lane, and (3) approaching the SI from the left side/the shoulder. There are three ways RLR-MC crossing the signalized intersection, i.e. (1) by Illegal maneuver (i.e. Illegal U-turn, contra-flow, prohibited left-turn), (2) by stopping first at or before the stop line, and (3) without stopping before the stop line. 'Crossing the SI without stopping at the stop line' is the majority with 51.15% from total observation. It is recommended that SI with high RLR-MC be equipped with adequate traffic island, replace SI signal type to actuated traffic signal and installing traffic light pole instead of gantry.
