Abstract In Malaysia, many studies have been conducted concerning highway and traffic safety but there has been no proper study involving traffic safety at signalised intersection. In order to maintain the safety, it is important to identify the behaviour of the driver that leads to an unsafe traffic conduct. This paper studied on the evaluation of driver behaviour and compliance at signalised intersection. Parameters adopted are driver approaching speed towards the signalised intersection, driver compliance rate to red light signal and driver responses at dilemma zone during amber light signal. Field data collection was conducted using video recording, measuring the driver responses at signalised intersection. The measuring location is an intersection categorised as four-leg intersections which consist of two (2) lanes for each approach, located below the Butterworth–Kulim Expressway (BKE) flyover connecting three (3) main roads among Projek Lebuhraya Usahasama Berhad (PLUS) expressway, BKE and Jalan Permatang Tok Kandu in Penang. The data of driver compliance were collected during peak hour and off-peak hour by counting the number of vehicles that comply or not comply with the red light signal. It was found that the average driver approaching speed during off-peak hour is higher than during peak hour. The average driver approaching speed resulted around 13.49 m/s during the weekend and it was found slightly the same as during the off-peak hour. As for the driver compliances, it shows that the number of drivers who did not comply with the red light signal increased as the volume of the vehicles increased. This proved that at average, driver compliances to the regulation of signalised intersection are very poor during peak hour which provide a better understanding in term of the driver responses towards existing system at the studied signalised intersection.
