Its minister, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, said the short-term allocation for 2016 was for lighting up dark spots at the lanes and to increase the number of pump houses at sections which were frequently flooded.
"We will increase lighting, paint the tunnel walls with bright colours, paint lane lines, widen the path, increase the number of signboards and improve the entry and exit of the motorcycle lanes," he told a media conference after inspecting the highway's motorcycle lanes here on Monday.
He said the ministry was also awaiting approval to build overhead ramps and increase the number of water pumps at Jalan 222, Petaling Jaya which was frequently flooded.
Earlier, Fadillah accompanied by Public Works Department (JKR) officers rode a motorcycle along the entire length of the Federal Highway to look at the problems faced by motorcyclists, starting from the Universiti LRT station in Kuala Lumpur until the Batu Tiga toll plaza here.
The 28.5km motorcycle lanes at the Federal Highway, the first in the country were supervised by four parties, namely the Works Department (JKT) (8.1km), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) (2.4km), Sprint (2km) and PLUS (16km).
Fadillah added that highway users who have complaints on damaged roads, could channel them directly to the ministry via its mobile application 'Aduan Jalan KKR' which has about 5,000 registered users since it was launched in March last year.
