PREFACE
This Arahan Teknik: (Jalan) 2E/87 - "Guide Sign Design And Application" - is an addition to the
Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2/85 series on "Manual on Traffic Control Devices" which was published in
1986. It is to be used for the design and application of guide signs. Nevertheless there are partsof this Arahan Teknik which not only include, but add information on standard traffic signs i.e.
regulatory, warning and temporary signs. Since this Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2E/87 has in parts
superseded Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A/85 and Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85, it must therefore be
read or used in conjunction with them. Attached within is also a summary of addendums and
amendments to both the Arahan Tekniks mentioned.
It must be noted that the sign design and application standard indicated in this Arahan Teknik and
those others in series 2/85 are to be followed at all times.
This Arahan Teknik. (Jalan) 2E/87 will be updated from time to time and in this respect any feed-
back from users will be most welcome. Any comments should be sent to Cawangan Jalan, Ibu
Pejabat JKR, Kuala Lumpur

1.1 Purpose Of Traffic Signs
The purposeof traffic signs is to help
ensure the safe and informed operation
of every road user on the highway.
Traffic sign, are used to regulate, warn,
or guide road users. They are essential
where special regulations apply at
specific times only, or where hazards are
not self-evident. They also give
information as to highway routes,
directions, destinations and places of
interest.
1.2 General Principles Of TrafficSigns
The following general principles are the
most important requirements to consider
in order to achieve the greatest
efficiency of traffic signs:
a) The signs must be designed for the
foreseeable traffic condition and
speeds on the roads on which they are
to be used.
b) The signs should be conspicuous so
that they will attract the attention of
drivers at a sufficient distance and
should be easily recognizable as
traffic signs at that distance.
c) The signs should contain only
essential information and their
significance should be clear at a
glance so that the driver's attentionis not distracted from the task of
driving.
d) The signs should be legible from
sufficiently far away to be read with
out diverting the sight through too
great an angle.
e) The signs should be placed so that
they are obscured as little as possible
by vehicles and other objects.
f) The signs should be designed and
the driver is left with sufficient time
to take any necessary action with
safety.
g) The signs should be effective both
by night and day. The critical factors
in meeting these requirements are
colour, shape and size of sign,
lettering and symbol sizes used,
layout of its face, its position and illumination or reflectorization.
1.3 Classification of Traffic Signs
Functionally, traffic signs are generally
classified into the following types :
a) Regulatory Signs
b) Warning Signs
c) Temporary Signs
d) Guide Signs
i. Destination Signs
ii. Directional Signs
iii. Distance Signs
iv. Information Signs
v. Route Number Markers
vi. Kilometer Posts
e) Other Traffic Signs Gantry Signs ThisArahan Teknik only covers the design
and application of guide signs.The
guidelines for the design and
application of regulatory, warning and
temporary signs are covered by
Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2A, 2S and
2C/85 respectively while that for
gantry sign will be covered by
another Arahan Teknik.

PART TWO: GENERAL DESIGN
CONSIDERATION ON TRAFFIC
SIGNS.
2.1 Colours Of Traffic Signs
Colour plays an important role in
distinguishing the nature of one traffic
sign from another such that road users
may not only recognize the traffic sign
as such but may also perceive a general
idea of the information before they
reach the point at which the message on
the sign becomes readable.
Sets of colour combination used for the
various type of traffic signs are shown inTable 2.1. The colour codes and
coordinates indicated in Appendix E
have been established and identified for
use on traffic signs and posts.
2.2 Letterings And Borders On
Traffic Signs
Three types of lettering and two types of
border are used on traffic signs. The
letterings used are standard letteringSeries 1, Series 2 and Lower Case with
height -stroke width ratio 1:5,1:7.5 and
1:4 respectively while the borders used
are the light coloured extended to the
edge and the dark coloured set-in from
the edge types.
Standard letterings are shown in
Appendix A. Types and sizes of
letterings and borders used for the
various type of traffic signs are shown in
Table 2.2 and 2.3.
2.3 Symbols On Traffic Signs
The two types of symbols used on
traffic signs are directional and
information symbols. Directional
symbols are those that indicate
directions while information symbols
are those that provide information with
out the use of word messages.
Sizes and templates of standard
symbols used on traffic signs are
shown in Appendix A. Types and usesof directional symbols are shown in
Table 2.4.
Information symbols which may in
some ways indicate the direction of
travel, such as the aeroplane, should be
used with caution.
2.4 Post And Mounting Of Traffic
Signs
Traffic signs should be installed
according to the requirements of Arahan
Teknik (Jalan) 2B/85. Traffic sign posts
shall be of steel posts of not less than
62mm outside diameter, and painted
with alternating black and white
stripes/bands of 300mm intervals.
Traffic signal posts, on the other hand,
should be painted with alternating black
and orange stripes/bands. It should be
noted that the first stripe/band from theground level for both posts is always
painted black. The back of every traffic
sign shall be painted grey and on it a
template with the date the sign was
manufactured arid: the naive of the
maufacturer shall be stated clearly.
Traffic signs exceeding 1.00m in any
dimension shall be stiffened by the
attachment of backing frames. Purlins
shall be required for those traffic signsexceeding 1.50m in any dimension.

2.5 Materials Used Or Traffic
Signs
The following are the trio types of
material to be used on traffic signs:
a) Retro-reflective sheeting
b) Screening ink
2.5.1 Retro-reflective Sheeting.
Retro-reflective sheeting a material
consisting of one or more retro-
reflective elements embedded within
a transparent film having a smooth,
flat outer surface.Two types of
retro-reflective sheeting that have
been established and identified for
use on traffic signs are High
Intensity and Engineering Grade
retro-reflective sheetings. Both these
sheetings are available in sheets and
rolls with either heat activated-or
pressure sensitive adhesive. Heat
activated , adhesive sheeting are
bonded to sign substrate by means of
the vacuum-heat application method
with the heat Lamp vacuum
applicator while bonding of pressure
sensitive adhesive sheeting to sign
substrates is by the application of
pressure with hand roller, rubber
squeegee, hand or electrically
powered squeeze roll applicator.
Types of retro-reflective sheeting to
be used on the various type of traffic
signs are stated in the notes of Table2.1.
2.5.2 Screening Ink
Screening ink is a transparent or
opaque coloured ink of non-
reflective element which is used at
times on retro-reflective sheetings to provide colour fast pigmentation.
Screening ink cannot be affective,
and thus cannot be used on traffic
signs, unless it is first applied on a
retro-reflective sheeting by means of
the silk screen process. It should be
noted that a screening ink of one
brand that has been specified for use
on one type retro-reflective sheeting
cannot be screened over another
brand or type of retro-reflective
sheeting.
The use of screening inks is to be
limited only to standard traffic signs
(regulatory, warning and temporary).

3.6 Route Number Markers
Route Number Markers are markers
which identify and mark all numbered
roads.
They are used for identification of roads,
for route confirmation and for guidance
and reassurance along the road .In State
roads, the route number markers should
be initiated with the same alphabet
designated on car registration numbers
which has already been assigned for that
particular state.
Unlike other guide signs, route markers
are ordinarily incorporated in the shape
of JKR logo, for Federal and State
roads, and due to their application, have
three fixed sizes. The relationship
between sizes and other details of routemarkers is shown in Table 3.2. Layout
design and application of route markers
are shown in Figure 3.15 to Fig. 3.16
and Appendix D respectively.

H = height of
lettering Series 1
Hm = height of mosaic
HU and H b = spacing constants defined as
in figure above.
W = k 1 + k 2 + W1
w1 = unit letter width
W = unit mosaic width
k 1 and k 2 = unit spacing constants.
To obtain the required size of letters and
mosaics, multiply the values from the tables by
the desired height
e.g H = 200mm for number ‘3' above
Width of the numeral :
w1 (200) = 0.80 x 200
= 160mm
Width of the mosaic:
W(200) = 1.01 x 200
= 202mm
Height of the mosaic :
Hm = ¼ (200) + 200 + ½ (200)= 350mm

Spacing Factor
Example:
To determine spacing between 120mm ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ in Lower Case:
From Table A.4 , spacing for ‘e’ followed by ‘r’ = 200mm
From Table A.5, factor for 120mm
Lower Case = 0.250
Required spacing = 200 x 0.250= 50 mm
NOTE : This calculation of spacing between Lower Case letters is notrequired when letter mosaic is used. Hence, this calculation isonly necessary when Lower Case letters are not used withthose of Series 1
