PROJEK MENAIKTARAF JALAN MUAR – TANGKAK – SEGAMAT JALAN PINTAS
DARI KOLEJ MATRIKULASI KE KAWASAN PERINDUSTRIAN TANGKAK JOHOR
1. The government of Malaysia intends to carry out the project for MENAIKTARAF LALUAN FT73 DARI PARIT KE SIPUTEH, DAERAH PERAK TENGAH,
PERAK DARUK RIDZUAN.
2. Currently the existing road FT73 carrying 2 lanes single carriageway with JKR R3 Standard
3. The implemented length for upgrading shall be approximately 3.4km from Parit town.
4. The proposed upgrading works from JKR R3 Standard to JKR R5 Standard shall result in providing smoother traffic flow, increase conformability
level and safety to road users.
1. The existing FT73 are narrow, curved and dangerous to other vehicles. Based on recorded accident data from Road Accident Management
System (RAMS) 2019 by Highway Planning Division indicates 9 accident cases in years 2017 to 2018.
2. The FT73 had experienced flooded in year 2014 and was closed to traffic. Road users diverted to North South Expressway as an alternative
route.

s) Installation of streetlighting, traffic lights and lighting to bus stops and overhead pedestrian bridge
t) Traffic management plans and temporary diversion
u) Mitigation and environmental protection works
v) Routine maintenance during construction and defect liability periods
w) Carry out Risk Management Plan

12. Opposite of above area, there is a row of houses and workshop aligned to the road and a Sg Parit behind it. This has created a kerbed land
between existing FT73 and the Sg Parit.
13. The road also passes a few sensitive squares such as surau and cemetery areas. Those areas are located close to the road reserves.

14. Along the proposed development section, there are 2 nos of T-junction which are to schools area located approximately 375m from town of Parit
and junction to Seri Iskandar located about 1.15km away from the same town of Parit.
15. The junction was currently minimal at design with a provision of right turn lane only on the FT73.

Jalan Parit –

The new upgraded road MAPshall
section of Proposed Upgrading
carry divided FT73 whereby both carriageways separated by 3.0m kerbed median.
carriageways
5. The physical median between carriageways has restricted right turning movements for entering and leaving the FT73. Thus a new traffic dispersal
scheme should be addressed to mitigate and reroute vehicles travelling.
6. Right turning movement are no longer permitted at T-junction to SK Iskandar Shah. Meanwhile the T-junction to Jalan Parit – Seri Iskandar shall
remains at full turning movements.
7. In order to facilitate the restricted right turning movement to school and other residentials/kampungs and premises, Uturns shall be introduced
as an alternative to all designated T-junctions:-
a) Signalised Parit Tower Clock /CH0.000m
b) Jalan Parit – Seri Iskandar
c) WCE Junction
8. However Uturn at T-Juction of Signalised Parit Tower Clock Ch0.000m is proposed to be shifted away to CH175.000m due to constrainted
available reserves by old buildings and to avoid massive acquisition and demolition at the center town of Parit.
9. Uturn at WCE Junction is proposed to be undertaken by them to ease in design and construction later.
10. All Uturns shall meet to P/SU design requirements since very less WB15 vehicles are expecting to use these Uturns.
11. T-junction to Jalan Parit – Seri Iskandar is propose to be a signalised junction with an integrated attenuated system to enhancing road safety to
users due to:
a) Increased number of lane for through and turning lanes

2. The design shall adopt the highest parameters possible to ensure most reliable and safer road. Nevertheless the factors of practicalities and cost
wise were also not being discarded.

4. The usable shoulder provided shall be 3.0m wide with a 2.5m paved section.
5. The both end shall be provided by a 1.5m width of verge which designated for installation reserve of signages, safety devices and utilities.
6. At cut section, a provision of 2.5m wide drain reserve shall be allocated for the construction of table/roadside drain. A 1.0m wide setback will be
provided for verge before the cut slope.
7. The cut slope shall be 1(V):1.5(H) with a maximum berm height of 6.0m. Each berm shall have 2.0m bench width. The total number of berms shall
be limited to 6.0.
8. The embankment fill slope shall be 1(V):2(H) with a maximum berm height of 6.0m. Esh berm shall have the same 2.0m bench width. The total
number of berms also limited to 6.0.

9. Berms and benches shall be provided with drains and spillway/chute adequately.
10. The provision of interceptor drain also provided to cater for ground runoff in protecting cut slope from any eroded surfaces and protect the slope
stability. The toe drain shall be provided to cater runoff from the road and cut surface and disperse systemically to existing river or water course.

7. The maximum relative gradient and equivalent maximum relatives slopes for profiles between the edge of travelled way and the centreline shall
be 1:167 (Table 4.6 ATJ8/86 Pindaan 2015)
5.9 Proposed Vertical Alignment
1. The minimum grades reckon for the road profiles shall be desirable minimum grade 0.5%. However at certain section the grade adopted is lesser;
0.8%, 0.82% and 0.567%.
2. The less gradient slopes applied was to suit existing road profiles where it controlled the accesses to surroundings properties and to minimise
levels impact to those access roads.
3. After all by keeping the new road finished levels close to the existing levels it will ease in road construction and traffic diversion hence lessen
conflicts points to road safety issues.
4. In addition, the existing road was reported free from prone flood area therefore the need for any raise to existing level considered unnecessary.
5. The steeper grade along the vertical profiling of the upgraded road is 3.730%.
6. Following are the road gradient adopted for the mainline FT007;

1. No major critical issues anticipated coz the development has managed to avoid sensitive issues such as acquisition of cemetery area, surau and
other public attraction buildings.
2. The proposed development also managed to mitigate road safety issues at schools and centre of public areas by providing sidewalks and overhead
pedestrian bridge.
3. All public facilities such as bus stop will be replaced and relocated to improved safety to users.
