Kuala Lumpur, October 29, 2019<\/strong> \u2013 iRAP, in association with the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS<\/a>), announced the launch of a Malaysia Road Assessment Programme (MyRAP), in Kuala Lumpur today.<\/p>\n

Le programme BrazilRAP vise \u00e0 traiter les routes les plus dangereuses du pays en partenariat avec des organismes nationaux et \u00e9tatiques. Le programme sera accueilli par le DNIT en association avec des experts locaux, en utilisant la recherche et les ressources locales, soutenu par le programme international d'\u00e9valuation des routes (iRAP) qui regroupe des partenaires dans plus de 100 pays.<\/p>\n

iRAP Managing Director, Strategic Projects Greg Smith said over 6,000 lives are lost each year1<\/sup> due to road crashes in Malaysia and eliminating high risk roads is critical to injury reductions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal leadership is the key to life-saving success in all of our partnerships across 100 countries worldwide and Malaysia is a fine example of this and a regional leader in improving the safety of its road network.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuilding on established success led by MIROS as an iRAP Centre of Excellence since 2012 and the PLUS and ANIH expressways Project, MyRAP will bring together government, investment, research and mobility and NGO partners from across the country to address the burden of road trauma,\u201d Mr Smith said.<\/p>\n

The success of local partnerships with the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Housing and Local Government, JKR, Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia, PLUS Berhad, ANIH Berhad, JKJR, and Shell were documented in the iRAP Malaysia 2017 Report<\/a> publishing the Star Rating results of Malaysian Inter-urban expressways.<\/p>\n

MIROS Director General Dr Siti Zaharah Ishak said we are excited to take iRAP Malaysia to the next level with the establishment of MyRAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe launch of the preliminary iRAP Malaysia Programme in early 2016 marked a significant commitment by the Malaysian Government towards halving road fatalities by 2020, in line with one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, local teams have undertaken star rating assessments on over 11,000 km of roads through Shell Malaysia supported projects. 95 per cent of our expressway network is expected to achieve a 3-star or better rating if road users comply with the speed limit. More than 500 sites have been upgraded informed by iRAP assessments, with many more sites targeted to be installed with speed enforcement cameras.<\/p>\n

\u201cMyRAP will continue to build on this success with goals to achieve small victories leading towards realizing the two Global Performance Targets for Road Safety of the United Nations Member States,\u201d Dr Siti Zaharah Ishak said.<\/p>\n

BrazilRAP fournira des outils de politique, de suivi des performances et d'investissement pour aider les gouvernements \u00e0 mesurer et \u00e0 g\u00e9rer les infrastructures de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 routi\u00e8re et \u00e0 optimiser les investissements dans tout le pays. BrazilRAP renforcera \u00e9galement les capacit\u00e9s et l'expertise locales en formant et en accr\u00e9ditant des experts locaux en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 routi\u00e8re \u00e0 la m\u00e9thodologie iRAP et en les connectant avec des coll\u00e8gues du monde entier.<\/p>\n

MyRAP is guided by the International Road Assessment Program\u2019s evidence-based Star Rating methodology and investment planning tools which provide a simple and objective measure of the level of safety which is \u2018built-in\u2019 to the road for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians. Five-star roads are the safest while one-star roads are the least safe.<\/p>\n

Achieving greater than 75 per cent of travel on 3 \u00e9toiles ou mieux<\/a> roads for all road users by 2030 stands to save 2,627 fatalities per year in Malaysia with an economic benefit of $91,736 million.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

MIROS was awarded an iRAP Star Performer award in 2017 and the MyRAP Case Study can be downloaded ici<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MyRAP was launched at the 2nd Workshop on iRAP Developments in Asian Countries \u201cSafer Roads for Safer Motorcyclists\u201d held in association with the Global Road Safety Partnership\u2019s Asia Pacific Road Safety Seminar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
