Abstract Motorcycle became the popular transport vehicle in many developing countries due to its simplicity and is inexpensive compared to other types of vehicles. In spite of this fact, an involvement of this vehicle in road crashes could easily cause fatal to the rider and pillion. In mitigating the road crashes, the factor contribution is needed to recognise and understand. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the engineering design factors that influenced the RLR among motorcyclists in Shah Alam, Selangor areas. The engineering design factors that have been considered in this study were change interval (amber time, green time and all red) of traffic signal. Then, the number of approach legs also was considered to examine the influenced these factors to motorcyclist RLR. To examine the influenced factors, direct observations were conducted using a video recorder in Shah Alam, state of Selangor. The direct observations were obtained 1 h observations within continuous 3 h. Results from this study showed that the most of motorcycle red light runner occurred at the signalised intersections within shorter amber time, longer cycle and more signal phase and approach legs.
