This lanes shall henceforst be called Exclusive Motorbike Right of Way.  The reason why the government has decided to do this is to reduce the number of motorbike accidents within the city.The government is proposing to ammend the law to allow motorbkes to be driven in the opposite direction in a one way street.  The rationale is by allowing the biker to drive in the opposite direction, it increases the dissipation of a significant volume of traffic thereby allowing a better flow for cars and trucks.These are a part of series of widespread amendments made to the law as a result of a study that was conducted recently.   The study concluded that there are 98% low capacity bikes in Malaysia.  These bikes forms the lifeline of the nation and has contributed to the economic development to the country.One of the amendments being studied is to do away with crash helmets. The study also concluded that motorbikers brain activity is affected by lack of ventilation.  The study found that a high percentage of cheap helmets used by the lower capacity bike riders do not provide sufficient ventilation to support normal brain activity.  The study is also found that the weight of helmet is a major contributing factor.  This is found to be a major cause of accidents.  The government is also considering to fund a research on a new type of crash helmets that will provide enough ventilation.  The target is to do away with 85% of the protective outer layer which provide 350% improvement in ventilation and 65% decrease in weight.</blockquote>
