The Motorcycle & Bicycle Helmet Project in Kuang

Malaysian Road Safety Department (JKJR) has collaborated with related ministries, NGOs, local councils and private entities to implement a pilot project in the district of Kuang, Kuala Selangor to increase the helmet wearing compliance level among the residents. This pilot project was launched in January 2007 and ended in March 2007. The impact study was carried out by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) and the result showed an encouraging response to the campaign with compliance increasing from 62% before the commencement of the campaign to 84% at the end of the 8 - week campaign.
