A researcher from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia has urged authorities to publicly release friction test results from the motorcycle lane near Subang before allowing traffic to resume on the Federal Highway's green lane.
Rozmi Ismail said the friction resistance measurements—recorded under both wet and dry conditions—are critical safety information that should be made available to the public. The data would help establish whether the road surface meets required safety standards for the facility's operation.
The call for transparency comes as relevant authorities prepare to reopen the green lane following maintenance work. Safety experts have emphasised the importance of proper surface testing, particularly for dedicated motorcycle lanes where grip and traction are paramount to accident prevention.
The motorcycle lane's condition has been a point of concern for road safety advocates and riders using the Federal Highway corridor. Comprehensive testing protocols are standard practice before reopening high-traffic facilities to ensure user safety.
