9.4.2 FUNCTIONAL HIGHWAY NETWORK HIERARCHY

a.

Principal Highway System

To cater for corridor movement with long trip length and high
density commensurate with national and interstate travel. The NorthSouth Highway, NKVE are examples of express way in this category. The

Bukit Kayu Hitam- Gurun Highway, Senai- Johor Bahru Highways are
example of highways defined above.
b.

Minor Highway System

To cater for movement between state regional centres. The major

federal routes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are example of routes that make up this
minor highway system.

c.

Primary Road System

Roads under the system generally serve intra-state movement

rather than inter-state. Some federal routes and most of the states roads
are examples of routes forming this road system.

d.

Secondary Road System

These routes that form the road network within a district of

regional development areas. Most of the state roads come under this
category of classification.

The capacity of designated routes can be increased by segregating

different forms of traffic and by restricting vehicular access to
frontages.

The risk of accidents can be reduced and junction capacities increased

by reducing the number of intersections and vehicular conflicts on
the designated traffic routes.

The overall environmental impacts of traffic can be reduced by

concentrating flows onto fewer routes; and

The rate of return on new investment designated to improve traffic

flow, reduce accidents and mitigate environmental intrusion can be
increased by concentrating traffic movements onto a few selected
corridors.
