The purpose of this manual is to establish uniformity in design and

The Manual is now divided into the following parts :-

color chart for all the traffic signs indicates

acceptable colors for each sign .

It consists of, with the exception of Temporary signs, design

criteria and location requirements for all traffic signs .

3 . Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2C/85 - Temporary Signs and Work

application in the work zones.

4. Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 2D/85 - Road Markings and Delineation.
