Road regulation and the types of road

A road is a thoroughfare route or way on land between two places which has been payed or otherwise improved to allow travel by some conveyance. Including a horse, cart, or motor vehicle. In a simple words, road is a place for all types of road transportation was used to move from one location to another location. When we talk about all types of road transportation, that's mean from motorcycle to the big truck such as trailer and tanker.

There are many road regulation that already stated by government. All the rule and regulation was make only for one objective that is for the safety of all people that use the road and people that stay near to the road. The example of road regulation is a speed limit. As we know the speed limit is different follow the types of road transportation. For the car, the speed limit is 110 km/hour and for commercial transport is 90 km/hour. That is the speed limit on the highway. It is not same with speed limit on the federal roads and state roads. On the federal roads the speed limit is 90 km/hour and 60 km/hour in town area. For the state roads, the speed limit is 90 km/hour and 60 km/hour in town area.

For your information, federal roads or in Malay is Sistem Laluan Persekutuan Malaysia is the main national road network in Malaysia. All federal roads in Malaysia are under the purview of Ministry of Works. State roads or in Malay is Sistem Laluan Negeri Malaysia are the secondary roads in Malaysia. The construction of State roads in Malaysia are funded by Malaysian Public Works Department or JKR of each states.

All the regulation that was made by government only for the safety of us and we as a road user must follow all the instruction and all the rule while we use the road. We must thinks about the other road user because they also can involve in the accident if we are not use the road properly.
