likely pedestrian routes should be considered in the design phase to eliminate “short cuts” which will eventually damage landscaped areas.

2. Circulation system design should avoid conflicts between vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic and pedestrian circulation shall take precedence over vehicular circulation.

3. Crosswalk with yellow striping in plastic paint, speed bumps, or signage shall be provided to emphasize the conflict point and improve its visibility and safety.

Types of Parking

Off- StreetOne of the most common and accepted method of parking in Malaysia. The provision of off-street parking spaces is required whenever:• A new building is constructed• An existing building is altered or enlarged• A new use is established in an existing building• Additions to a single-family or multi-family dwelling increase

the original floor area by more than 50% per unit or increase the number of sleeping rooms

When siting off-street parking areas, the designer should consider:• Creating multiple smaller

parking areas rather than one large mass

• Integrating planted islands to increase aesthetics

• Minimize extensive grading operations by designing to the topography

• Ensuring a distance of at least 15 meters is provided from proposed parking area entrances and

• Exits to intersections• Minimizing the number of

entrances and exits

ParallelParallel parking can be used when off-street parking cannot accommodate or is not practical. The parking spaces dimension should be a minimum of 7.5m long and at least 2.75m wide. On-street should have 3.35m instead.
