-
Damage to public road transport infrastructure can inhibit its optimal function and contribute to traffic accident. Therefore, is of concern to both road infrastructure users and owners. This study improves the understanding of damage-contributing factors to Jalan Merlimau-Jasin (M25) road infrastructure, to identify causes of damages along the road. Data from major survey of public road users are analysed using flow rate test, rainfall data collection and a survey on drainage system along the road. Vehicle overloading, climatic and unsystematic drainage system effect may be the major factors, wheres increased traffic volumes contribute to surface wear, other types of physical damages and ultimately accidents. We proffer that stakeholders need to better appreciate the significant contribution played by overloading, climatic effects and drainage system (ideally with governmental financial support) derive passive solutions to mitigate them. Alternatively, continued road infrastructure degradation will yield negative socioeconomic effects, in addition to the more direct problems of maintenance, repair and associated cost.
