character for every settlemet center or Block Planning that were set can distinguish clearly an urban

area.

Issues & ProblemsTransportation and traffic issues especially traffic jammed,limited parking space and bus services is not comprehensive.

Traffic jammed on the main road at center of the city especially at high peak morning and evening because of the increasing private car and user’s factor parking their car besides the road.

The location of bus station in Kajang city center can caused traffic jammed at this roads when bas waiting for their passengers.

•Car parking is not adequate in Kajang city center especially a centralized parking type such as multi storage building to accommodate a high number of users. This situation are forced users to park their car besides the road and causing traffic jammed.

Recommendation For Improvement

Development of an integrated multi-modal transport modes with patterns of land use can encourage consumers walking, cycling and using public transport.

Development-oriented transport, private transport modes and encourage consumers to walking, cycling and using public transport.

The streets are designed to support a variety of activities, for example through the emphasis on the elements of opiate traffic (traffic calming) and design a way to maximize the volume and speed of vehicles, especially private vehicles.
