SEPANG, Jan 17 — The speed limit on federal roads across the country will be reduced by 10km per hour from January 18 to 27 in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration, said Works Minister Datuk Alexander Nanta Linggi today.
Hence, he said, if for example the speed limit for a stretch of road is 90kmh, it will be reduced to 80kmh during this period and this will be reflected in the relevant signboards so that motorists are aware of the change. He said the ministry had decided to impose the speed limit to address accidents that frequently occur at 76 “blackspots”.“Meanwhile, 40 locations posed a danger due to dark roads, so streetlights were installed, at a cost of RM4.7 million,” Alexander told reporters today during the launch of the Integrated Ops and Road Safety campaign in conjunction with Chinese New Year.
He added that through the launch of Integrated Ops and Road Safety campaign, the government, together with the Transport Ministry, is committed to reducing the number of deaths and road accident injuries by at least 50 per cent by the year 2030.
