This document summarizes transportation statistics and road safety issues in Malaysia. It notes that as of 2006 Malaysia had over 109,000 km of roads, with 82.77% paved, and there were over 9 million registered vehicles and 8.5 million registered motorcycles. However, Malaysia also has high rates of traffic accidents, with over 328,000 reported in 2005, and a death rate of 23.6 per 100,000 people. One of the factors cited for the accidents is poor road conditions with potholes, which can damage vehicles, cause traffic jams, reduce safety, and worsen during rainy conditions, prompting many complaints in Malaysian newspapers.
