The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has reminded Malaysians that cycling on highways is strictly prohibited, and those who are caught doing so could be fined between RM300 and RM2,000.
In an official statement, Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department (JSPT) director Datuk Azisman Alias said the ban only affects highways, and does not extend to federal, state and municipal roads in the country.
“JSPT advises cyclists who wish to participate in said activity to always follow the designated rules and laws of the highway to ensure their safety as well as that of other road users,” said Azisman Alias. He added that any individuals that fail to obey road signs that ban cycling on highways are in violation of Section 79(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Motorcyclists on Federal highway prohibited too.
They motorcycle didn’t paid the tol fee like us car or truck. So I feel they motorcycle cannot use. Else polis motorcycle escort can use the highway for carry thier duty
Simpan bodo tu sikit bro, Federal Highway so long no toll d or you still living in the past!
Mostly follows the motorlane except few places where it is still being renovated, motors have no choice but to enter main highway. That is allowable.
As a cyclist myself, I fully support this enforcement.
At the end of the day, I will never say no to safety.
Anything less than 4 wheels should be prohibited and fine 10k
Finally, else every time when there is any accident involving cyclist, it’s the drivers that always getting the short end of stick in court.
like finally
Highways especially payed ones are considered private premises even though the road is owned by the government it is being runned by highway toll operators.
thus they can limit who can and cannot use the roads.
This should be common sense…anyway, common sense is superpower nowadays…
How many bicycles in Malaysia have lights in front and the back of the bicycles? The majority of the bicycles have only reflective panels in front and/or back. Can reflective panels considered as compliance with the rule as the alternative of lights?
