Signboard Speed Limit Signs

Usually the government has set the standard for speed limits for highways and roads. To meet the required standard set by the government, traffic engineers design roads or highways with the study of various aspects such as the terrain, bend radius, etc. to meet the standards. Maximum safe speed theoretically driven on road design or highway known as the design speed limit. In addition to 85 Percent Rule, the speed limit is also taking into account the effect of the kinetic energy of impact as a result of the collision. For example, suppose there are two road accidents, one of which involved two cars, while the other involves a car with express buses, and all vehicles involved in collision at a speed of 90 km / h. Injury and possible death of the victim when it collides with the express bus is more serious, by the impact of a collision with a heavy vehicle is larger than the light-vehicle collision. Of the factors that heavy vehicle speed limit is set at a lower speed than the original speed limit applies to light vehicles. Unfortunately, most of the heavy vehicles in Malaysia often deny heavy vehicle speed limit set.
