JKR vs Highway/LLM — which specification?

Malaysian road signs fall under one of two regulatory standards:

  • JKR Standard — for state roads, federal (non-expressway) roads, JKR-administered projects. This page covers Temporary JKR signs specifically.
  • Highway / LLM Standard — for expressways operated by concessionaires (PLUS, LPT2, Litrak, Prolintas, KESAS, SPRINT). Larger reflective sheets, different typography, LLM-approved. See our Temporary Highway / LLM Signage page.

If your project is governed by JKR (typical for state-level works), you need Temporary JKR signs. If you're working on a PLUS, KESAS or similar expressway, you need Temporary Highway/LLM signs. The TMP (Traffic Management Plan) or contract will specify — if unclear, WhatsApp us your project details before ordering.

Temporary vs Permanent JKR signs — what's the difference?

Temporary signs (T-series) are used for work zones, road closures, detours, events and emergency works. Designed for mobilisation and demobilisation: typically portable, with weighted stands or driven mounts, and Class 1 or Class 2 reflective sheeting.

Permanent signs (TS-series and regulatory/directional) are installed for long-term road use — directional signs, regulatory signs (Keep Left, Give Way), warning signs, etc. Different mounting hardware, often higher reflective grade, longer service life. See our Permanent JKR Signage page.

Bilingual (English / Bahasa Malaysia) signage

JKR specification requires Malay text on most regulatory and warning signs, and frequently bilingual (BM/English) on projects serving non-Malay contractors and international travellers. Muhibah manufactures bilingual signs on request — common BM text includes "Kerjasama anda amat dihargai" (your cooperation is appreciated), "Harap maaf kesulitan amat dikesali" (we apologize for the inconvenience), "Lencongan" (detour), "Awas" (caution), "Ikut kiri" (keep left). Bilingual copy is typically included on apologetic (T.22), detour (T.12) and project-information signs.

Frequently Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Temporary JKR sign?
A Temporary JKR sign is a road sign manufactured to Malaysia's Public Works Department (Jabatan Kerja Raya / JKR) specification, used for temporary purposes such as construction work zones, road closures, detours, events and emergency roadworks. It complies with JKR SPJ/S19 and ATJ2C-85 Pindaan 2017 and includes T-series regulatory, warning, directional and apologetic signs.
Do I need JKR signs or Highway (LLM) signs?
It depends on the road. For state and federal (non-expressway) roads under JKR, use JKR-standard signs. For expressways operated by concessionaires (PLUS, LPT2, Litrak, Prolintas, KESAS, SPRINT), use Highway/LLM-standard signs. The Traffic Management Plan or contract for your project will specify. Muhibah manufactures both — WhatsApp your project details for clarification.
What reflective sheeting grade does JKR specify for temporary signs?
JKR SPJ/S19 typically specifies Class 1 engineer-grade retroreflective sheeting as the minimum for temporary work-zone signs, with Class 2 (high-intensity prismatic) required on high-speed roads, night-work zones and in certain states. Muhibah supplies both; we'll recommend the right grade based on your road class and working hours.
Can Muhibah produce bilingual signs (English + Bahasa Malaysia)?
Yes. We produce bilingual signs on request, including apologetic signs ("Kerjasama anda amat dihargai / Your cooperation is appreciated"), detour signs ("Lencongan / Detour"), warning signs ("Awas / Caution") and project-information boards. Most Temporary JKR apologetic and detour signs are routinely manufactured bilingual.
How long does manufacture and delivery of Temporary JKR signs take?
Standard T-series signs from existing stock deliver within 3–7 working days in Klang Valley. Custom project signage (bilingual, specific wording, oversized) takes 10–15 working days. Rush orders for emergency works can be expedited — WhatsApp +6012-351 3349 with project details.
