Road geometry studies are conducted to analyze and design the physical layout and dimensions of roads, and transportation systems. These studies serve several purposes: Safety: They help determine safe designs to minimize accidents and ensure the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Proper road geometry can reduce the risk of collisions and provide clear visibility. Cost-effectiveness: Proper road geometry can reduce maintenance costs by designing roads that withstand wear and tear more effectively. It can also help in cost-effective construction by minimizing land use and materials. Accessibility: Road geometry studies consider the needs of all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and public transportation. They aim to create designs that are accessible and convenient for everyone. ROAD GEOMETRY UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA BEMX TNI EMG4804 EGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ING F EI LDWORK E M G 4 8 0 4 BEMX introduction introduction Geometric road features play a significant role in traffic congestion according to several road components as below: Lane Width: Narrow lanes might create discomfort among drivers and reduce the overall traffic flow. Wider lanes can often improve traffic flow and reduce congestion by providing more space for vehicles. Merge and Weave Areas: Inadequate space for vehicles to merge or change lanes smoothly can cause congestion. Well-designed merge and weave areas help maintain traffic flow by allowing vehicles to enter and exit highways without disrupting the overall flow. Capacity and Design Standards: Roads designed below the required capacity for the volume of traffic they handle can easily become congested. Adhering to proper capacity and design standards is crucial in minimizing congestion. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS 194

P PEDESTRIAN LAN E HIGHLIGHTS OF KEY FINDINGS UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA BEMX TNI EMG4804 EGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ING F EI LDWORK E M G 4 8 0 4 BEMX CYCLISTLANE Ten indicators in the Healthy Street Audit have been identified and used to assess all 84 streets in Heritage Zone of George Town. The audit reveals that only 13% of the Heritage Zone has dedicated cyclist lanes, leading to 22% of cyclists sharing lanes with vehicles and 40% with pedestrians. Furthermore, there is a 12% insufficiency in cyclist lane width, forcing cyclists to use main roads instead of designated lanes. Moreover, 35% of loading activities occur on cyclist lanes, contributing to the problem. Overall, only 35% of the cyclist lanes are deemed to be in good condition. Only 35% of individuals either do not use private cars or face restrictions on using them within the heritage zones. Despite this limitation, there's a notably low number of people utilizing public transport within these areas. This trend might be attributed to several factors such as limited public transport accessibility, inadequate infrastructure, or possibly a lack of awareness or convenience in using public transportation options. PED E S TRIAN CROSSINGS Only 32% of individuals have the opportunity to feel safe and comfortable while crossing branch roads. There is a high demand for zebra crossings, accounting for 48% of the total demand for safer crossings. However, only 18% of available technology is allocated for controlled crossings, which could significantly improve pedestrian safety at these points. PRIVATE CAR USAGE Only 20% of appropriate technology for optimizing traffic flow has been installed. Furthermore, some arterial roads suffer from a lack of traffic lights, resulting in uninterrupted vehicular flow and reducing opportunities for pedestrians to safely cross these roads. This absence of traffic lights can create challenges for pedestrian safety and disrupt the flow of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, especially in areas where crossing points are limited. In the Heritage Zone of George Town, there is only 29% availability and adequacy of pedestrian lane width. The unclear pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, or the shared lanes, often lead to conflicts, disrupting a peaceful journey. Additionally, only 45% of pedestrian lanes within the Heritage Zone are in good condition. CONCLUSION 206 TRAFFIC LIGHT
BEMX EMG4804 UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA NI TEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN ING F EI LDWORK E M G 4 8 0 4 BEMX P PUBLIC SURVEILLA N CE CONCLUSION HIGHLIGHTS OF KEY FINDINGS 207 COLLISION RISK Only 24% of the time, there's a reduced risk of collisions between cyclists and motorized vehicles during turning movements. This risk is high due to a lack of sign boards alerting individuals about potential collision risks. Additionally, the absence of restrictions for motorized vehicles at branch road entries means that, at intersections, cyclists and motor vehicles often share the same lane. This shared space increases the likelihood of accidents or collisions between these two types of road users. About 60% of walking areas have designated resting points within a reasonable distance, providing individuals with opportunities to take a break and rest when fatigued from walking. Additionally, approximately 65% of these areas are equipped with rain shelters, offering individuals the chance to seek refuge from rain showers, take a break, and find cover during inclement weather conditions. GREENERY Heritage Zone of George Town feature 32% tree coverage and 48% nature strips along footways on streets. The presence of greenery improve the environment by enhancing air quality, providing shade, and reducing heat in urban areas. Trees and nature strips help mitigate the effects of pollution, offering a more pleasant and healthier atmosphere for pedestrians. RESTING POINT & RAIN SH E LTER Only 18% of bus stops are accessible for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), while just 18% provide step-free access from the streets to the bus stations. Moreover, in the vicinity of bus stations, only 25% offer other public transport services. Many streets lack proper bus stations, offering only parking slots for buses without designated stops or proper accessibility features. Upgrading bus stops with ramps, textured paths, and elevators for step-free access for everyone is the best way of improvement. About 54% of pedestrians feel safe on certain streets due to the higher presence of people engaged in outdoor activities, creating a sense of safety through increased human presence. However, certain streets pose safety concerns for pedestrians, especially during nighttime. This risk is worsen by limited business activities after dark, making these areas less frequented and hence less secure. As a result, it is not advisable to use these streets at night due to safety issues arising from reduced human presence and business activity, potentially compromising pedestrian safety. BUSSTATION

sampling method feasibility study Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) is a process used to evaluate the potential visual effects of a proposed project on the surrounding environment. Sampling methods in VIA are crucial to ensure that the assessment is representative and accurate. The selected areas are chosen based on how they might impact the visual aesthetics and cultural significance, their popularity among visitors, representation of various environments, and accessibility for conducting VIA studies. Considering the selection criteria, we have opted for three specific locations: Bukit Bendera, Padang Kota Lama, and Clan Jetties. Enumerators were categorized into four groups, performing VIA at these three locations. Within each group, subgroups were formed to execute VIA at individual places, encompassing the entirety of the study area. A pilot study was conducted in Kuala Lumpur to test the practicality of VIA instruments and identify challenges or adjustments needed before the actual study in George Town. Forty-six personnel conducted VIA in various locations in Kuala Lumpur, specifically Kampung Baru and Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). These locations address the unique characteristics and development challenges of each area. Kampung Baru represents a culturally rich and historic village known for its traditional Malay architecture and community values. In contrast, KLCC stands as a modern and iconic urban center characterized by high-rise structures and significant economic activities. Adjustments or refinements to the instruments or the data collection process are made based on the findings from the pilot study and personnel feedback.
