Evaluating the effects of transverse bar on vehicle speed at an arterial road in Kuala Lumpur

Road safety is a major concern for road users. Vehicles traveling at speeds higher than the speed limit are one of the main reasons for the increased number of accidents along arterial roads in Malaysia. Transverse bars are considered as an effective measure in addressing the increased speed of traf...
