Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will be running trials on a new system that will see special motorcycle stop zones being implemented at certain traffic lights, Bernama reports.
These zones – which will be painted in red and white – will be the designated stop area for motorcyclists, who will not be allowed to stop anywhere outside the zone at these lights. Other motorists will have to stop their vehicles behind the specified motorcycle zone.
Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz said this restructuring is to improve overall traffic safety and provide better facilities for motorcycles stop in a safe condition. “Each zone will be able to accommodate more than 20 motorcycles at one time,” he explained.
He said the motorcycle zones will initially be implemented at three locations – Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak. He added that several other locations to establish such facilities have been identified.
Mhd Amin Nordin said DBKL will run the system for a three-month trial period starting from this month for road users to get accustomed to the new traffic restructuring. After the trial period, motorists who fail to comply with the directive will be fined between RM50 and RM100, he said.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express support for implementing motorcycle zones at traffic lights, citing safety and orderliness, while emphasizing the need for strict enforcement and higher fines. Many highlight the reckless behavior of motorcyclists, such as running red lights, squeezing between cars, and not adhering to designated lanes, which contribute to traffic chaos. Several suggest lessons from Singapore and Japan regarding discipline and law enforcement. Concerns are also raised about the lack of civic awareness, the inability of current enforcement to curb violations, and the importance of educating road users. Pedestrian safety and proper road marking are also emphasized. Overall, there's a consensus that while the initiative is positive, effective enforcement and behavioral change are critical for success.
