Motorcyclists using the Federal highway are reminded to use the motorcycle lanes provided or face punitive action. This applies to the section of the Federal highway from kilometre 16 to kilometre 34, heading towards Klang and on the opposite towards Kuala Lumpur.
Lamenting the fact that many motorcyclists still fail to use the lanes provided, ACP Mohamad Fakhruddin Adbul Hamid, Petaling district police chief, said failing to use the lanes is dangerous to both the riders and other road users. He also noted that many motorcyclists are using toll entries and exits as short cuts to avoid using the motorcycle lane bypass around the toll plaza.
Failure to use the motorcycle lane is an offence chargeable under Section 79 (2) of the Road Transport Act, 1987, said Fakhruddin. He added that 193 summons have been issued to motorcyclists breaking this rule and reminded motorcyclists to use the motorcycle lane at all times, failing which action would be taken.
Commenting on incidents at police road blocks set up during the Covid-19 Movement Control Order, Fakhruddin said four accidents were recorded on the Federal Highway. These accidents were the result of driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving and failure to pay attention to traffic, resulting in damage to police equipment at the road block.

Yes bro. Reminded of the time when thy approved RM30 mil allocation for new race track in Sungai Petani, Kedah… Tak kira golongan apa, tetap dibela. Malu apa
SOPs but no enforcement. So what?
Later enforcement out there pipul complain cruel & zalim this and that. Got accused minum kopi. For what?
Why some adult Malaysians have to be treated like kids and need enforcement then only will comply? Think about it
inb4 Ekzos bising
Why do we need to remind these hardcore offenders?
Just take action.
Reminders dont work.Bear in mind there are riders who obey the law.Those who break the law,must face the full brunt of the law.
Memberi peringatan and menyarankan. The government decided that 80% of government staff to WFH. So our government staff sending out reminders to our motorcyclist friends from home.

Put yourself in the motorcycle riders shoes.
Try yourself riding the federal highway motorcycle lane say just for a week, twice a day. Try riding the motorcycle lane at night, try riding the motorcycle lane in heavy rain.
Would you gladly use the federal highway motorcycle lane after you have experienced it?
Whatever the situation is, you still have to follow the road rules unless the motorlane is flooded/road work… then you are free to ride at the left side on the federal highway NOT zig zagging and making yourself a human barrier to cars wanting to switch lanes.
Agreed, but when it comes down to it. It’s the cars going dead slow on the left that make motorcyclist “zig zag” it’s the poor planning and awareness of car drivers coming from the middle lane as they please that cause motorcyclist to “zig zag”. Because, hello lah you think most law abiding bikers don’t have their awareness dialed up to a 100%? Especially when they are riding on two wheels and no walls to protect them when crashing just a fricking helmet for f sake.
My father who has never gotten into an accident driving for 50 over years told me this: “Drivers look out for and take care of bikes and pedestrians. Bikers look out for drivers and take care of pedestrians.
Pedestrians (including cyclist) just look out.”

Get on the Police Kawasaki GTR1400 motorcycle, use the motorcycle lane daily to go to work.
Walk the talk. Then you will understand why people does not want to use the federal highway motorcycle lane.
Highly doubt too ketua pemuda wud ride his rm888K Ducati Superleggera V4 on the federal highway motorcycle lane.
l imagine this, Yeah, about time you jokers above hear the grouses, motorcyclists have been crying out loud. Car drivers complain when the road has dangerous corners, pot holes, flooding, unexpected detours due to road works, lack of lighting, lack of sign boards and generally lack of funding for the roads you use. That’s what motorcyclists complain most about
Well, imagine also who supports the economy during the lockdown? Yup, motorcyclists. Think about it.
We pay roadtax to govt and deserved good safer road to travel. Think about it.
The Federal highway and Kesas Highway have the best motorcycle lanes. But these 2 highways have the most motorcyclists who refused to use them and speeding on the most right lanes.
To complain about bad lanes means he has never even used those lanes before!
Butoh!
Both Federal Highway and Kesas did water damage to my bike because of flood. I ride a BMW G310, the ground clearance is quite tall. Think about it man!
Myself a motor rider too. If unavoidable then ride with adequate speed at the left side of jalanraya. Not speeding between second and third lane then terrorize car driver who put signal and want change lane from far away.
If accident happened to the motorcyclist who don’t use the dedicated lane especially in KESAS and Federal, for sure you give insurance company the golden ticket not to compensate you anything for sure.
All this PDRM staffs and pipu who dont ride memang Sembang kuat.. I am one of the many riders who ply Federal highway for daily commute. Many times we highlighted the dangers we face in using the motorcycle lane … Robbers hiding in unlit tunnels, deep potholes, sharp corners, flooded road and tunnels, large debris… you just name it.
So I choose to face the police and accept whatever saman RM300 a small price to pay, rather than the robbers bent on slitting my throat… especially in terowong gelap a lot of robbery, theft and assault cases have been reported. These young local criminals are placing thin wires across dark unlit terowong along bike lanes to trip riders riding along; once we fell, then robbed & assaulted. When perompak2 kebas beg duit and smartphone vivo x60 , locked our bike and sped off with the keys.
So what safety they now talkking? Hampeh has been going on for decades. tatap PerihatiN
At least they are talking action now, back then during 22 months gomen what they did? NOTHING!!! PeriHampeh gomen.
BarangNaik govt before that had at least 360 months after Road Traffic Act 1987, what did they do?
when more people use motor lane, less robbers la.
Otak mu
Perompak berbillion2 takde masalah. Perompak ikan bilis kne sumbat. Syukurr Msia aman sejahtera.
Perompak berbillion2 going to jail soon unless PH wins again. Lets hope they dont
Correct bossku. All under control hahahah
you mean the bike lane has motorists at all hours day long? it has ‘tons’ of freaking hazard than the car lanes. abandoned bikes, carcasses, rocks, deep portholes, unlit tunnels, flooded tunnels, sharp bend, etcetera.
Instead of paying RM300 saman, you should consider driving a second hand viva then. Smaller monthly installment and safer.
most of biker who commute daily actually own cars. the ride motorbike to avoid traffic & managing time & travel expenses.
assuming most of the biker follow your simple suggestion by buying cars or they drive daily. i can bet you, many of us will stuck in traffic longer than usual.
Or else what? What are you going to do?
You guys can’t even do a simple job right. Has been going on for years.
Bcuz for years, parts of motorcycle lane on Federal Highway was closed off for upgrading work? DUHH!!!
Tak payah nak perabot, perabot. Banyak dalam gerobok.
Just declares any motorcyclists not using the Federal Highway motorcycles lane involved in road accident or incident will nullify all legal claims and treated as mati katak OK case closed.
PDRM must nabbed all these imbecile ingrates.
Even during PKP 3.0 the rempits out there doin wheelie, superman, wikang, and kona baring… langgar SOP and bakar bendera. low genes.
Please enforced on KESAS highway as well.
Everytime i use this bike lane wish i can punch the face of the people who design and doing the maintainence work, bad quality, always have to divert to car lane because there is always some work not related to the lane itself, very sharp corner, flood, slippery road, lubang sana sini, like it was mean to reduce human population in kl
inb4 Kartel Projek tender. Syukur la protekk bhai.
Fix the lane first, then enforce. As it stands now, the lane isn’t any safer. Especially at night, people pretty much riding blind. No light, constant flooding, pothole everywhere and very narrow road. Car driver are being self centered about lane, blaming motorcycle not using it. Why do you think we seldom use the lane huh?
In summary
OK
Malaysia has plenty of law, rule and regulation for road and traffic.
NOT OK
Extremely poor/serious lack of enforcement by relevant authorities. Poor examples shown among authoritative figures.
SERIOUSLY NOT OK
Malaysian “tak kisah, tak apa, lantak kau la, suka ati aku” attitude.
This is why we are stuck again, again and again in a sad situation.
asalkan YB2 & pemimpin berakal & berwibawa, disanjungi rakyat marhen. So no problemo
Only to know why enforcement fail. Er..does this include big bike escorting VIP?
Come to Penang!.. Motorcyclists don’t use the motorcycle lanes in Lim Chong Eu Highway…Please do something about it.
inb4 Kartel Projek tender. Syukur la protekk bhai.
This should also be enforced for the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu expressway in Penang. Many motorcyclists are not using the motorcycle lane
1. Part of klang Shah Alam motor lane is closed like forever. Part of PJ kl also closed for the longest time now, how?? So meaning when it convenient you, use motor lane, but because of these, we have no choice but to come back out to car lane, like this not dangerous meh? You say you want motorcyclist to be safe, I say FU because we are not safe.
2. Occasional flood, makes it even worse thst we have to detour at dangerous angle towards speeding car or diverging lanes.
3. Uneven and potholes not fixed in time, apa ni?
4. Occasional flood at SJ tunnel, what the heck is this?
#SelangorGagal
Syukur kjaan perihatin, para rider2 disayangi..
Syukur kjaan perihatin, rakan2 rider disayangi..
Our future generations for sure they will ask us….why do you choose those leaders to lead you?
Selangor richest state but also most decrepit state. 10+ years banyak masuk poket and yet people not realise why still happen. #SelangorGagal
my foreign workers said the road conditions in Bangladesh & Nepal are much better than here
Double standard…
VIP vs commoner
Big bikes vs super bikes
Fast vs slow riders
Traffic jam vs bottleneck
Emergency vs rescue lane
Natural disasters vs infrastructure readiness
Are we all ready?
Please review
1. Not safe in many sense – safety of riders and safety riding, infrastruture of motor lane, weather during raining etc.
2. Not suitable at all for big bikes. In Europe they allowed 250cc above to use highway main lane. Looked more appropriate.
Tak payah lah nak warning2 enforce dan saman jeeee…selalu enforce summon to traffic violation, for sure Malaysian would follow the rules…just look at our Covid case raising. If we enforce the summon to the people who violated the SOP and no cross border earlier without political or any favour, our Covid case will not be so high like now. So many warnings yet cases still raising
Some have already highlighted that the lanes are no safe. Until that is mended, it is harsh to penalise the motorcyclists who choose the safer option. It is the rogue ones who like to swerve in and out between cars and ignoring cars and indicators and act like Samseng that need to be sorted
Confiscated the motorcycle for 2 weeks. That’s it.
Get the bike lane fixed and patrolled. Then we can talk about threatening motorcyclists. Don’t talk like all motorcyclists are criminal minded. Most just want a safe way to go to work and get home safely like most other motorists.
Cut the tree pls. The tree grow out to motor lane already. I always need to duck. So dangerous
“Malaysian police: Use the motorcycle lanes or else”
Else what? What cha gonna do? They have been riding like that for ages.
Superbikes and Harleys belong there too. Got cut off a few times by them when changing lanes (with indication, mind you), they turned around to look at me. I gestured to them that they belong in the bike lane and they gave me the middle finger. We do not expect these bikes to show up in between lanes at 160kmh at all no matter how cautious you may be.
Use left lane OK but never on the middle and fast lane. Time for enforcement to come down hard on these dumb riders. Squeezing through dangerously, honking and even challenging to a fight. Surveillance cameras should be installed 24/7 and all offenders fined
– jail for repeat offenders.
Had enough and fed up of this happening everyday.
Disregarding safety and using mobile phone while riding is also rampant.
I’m not a motorcyclist but I do drive on Federal highway occasionally and I noticed the bike lane is often closed halfway for god knows what work they’re doing, and the poor motorcyclists often have to maneuver in and out into the main highway.
Come on la WEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Kah Siong what the hell are you doing?
Darurat wey
Not WKS fault as this been ongoing since Anthony Loke era. What the hell was he doing?
The worse is this motorcyclist don’t ride on left side of road / highway but ride on fast
Lane and race with cars.
Please summon or ban them, or Give us hotline, I believe many cars with webcam can record and send in so please blacklist and summon this riders
This is a perennial problem and is getting worse over the years. Compounded by the fact it’s noticed that quite often enforcement officers in their patrol vehicles and bikes do not stop and issue compounds when they pass by these offenders. The officers may have their reasons but I am sure they can take it up with their superiors and discuss ways to overcome this menace. It’s time the police and JPJ personal come down hard on these riders who are dangerous to other road users. If someone was to observe from the arch of the KL – Selangor border I am sure every hour one can see a few hundred offenders. Show them no mercy, treat them just as drunk drivers, the enforcement must be year round.We have to act before a major tragic incident such as accidents involving fully laden public transport or school buses occurs.
Looks like this bike lane complaints have been going on for many years. Still, little has been done by to investigate the complaints and rectify the problems. Is there even an authority responsible for this, of so, are they doing anything about these? Yet, the police keep insisting that bikers must use these lanes due to the dangers associated with bikes on the open highway. Do aso die, don’t do aso die. Going around in circles while the risks to bikers linger.
I agree that the lanes are done poorly. Badly lit, sharp corners and when it rains heavily, unusable.
But I am more worried about other motorcyclist than the road conditions. Not uncommon to see them flying past…or cut in dangerously into lanes/corners. Oii….you screw up going too fast, you will take us out also. Pakai otak sikit.
I ride a big bike, and with my paniers on, takes up more than half the entire lane…. and honestly the federal bike lanes are way too narrow for the traffic it is meant to handle at peak..
The authorities force us to use bike lanes because you idiots don’t know how to behave on the road. Lane split at speed, honking everyone, speeding, causing accidents. Car drivers complain, we reap what you sow.
While at it, same with the idiots with super loud exhausts. You piss off some VIP in the middle of the night, everyone kena.
Are the motorcycle lanes safe? Apart from the robberies, bad and very narrow road conditions, you will most likely lose a limb or worse end up dead in the event of an accident as you have either trees and pillars on the left or the back of road barriers on the right.
I’d rather risk riding in the emergency lane on federal highway.
motorcycle lane only safe to ride on 20 to 30 km/h speed. Above that speed is not safe for rider and the bike.
Where the enforcement is carried out, every motorcyclists obediently uses the motorcycle lane. But where the stretch that does not have enforcement, they turned it into a racing track. The stretch from Bukit Raja to Shah Alam is heaven to these defiant speed riders.
