“…In order to sustain and maintain the condition of the roadway and make it usable, road authorities must perform proper and timely maintenance. This will improve not only safety but also economic growth and social development [18][19][20]. These initiatives will greatly aid in the implementation of the Malaysia Road Safety Plan 2022 -2030, which aims for all new roads to meet safe technical standards for all road users by the year 2030, and for more than 75 % of road travel on existing roads to meet safe technical standards for all road users [21].…”

This study aims to determine and propose the maintenance procedure and surface treatment activity carried out along Jalan Taman Putra, Jalan Bunga Raya and Jalan Perdana Utama in Ampang Jaya, Selangor. From a visual inspection, Jalan Bunga Raya and Jalan Perdana Utama was rated as B and required immediate repairs, while Rating C required to be fixed for user comfort on Jalan Taman Putra. Patch defects account for 45 % and 46 % of all defects on Jalan Taman Putra and Jalan Bunga Raya routes, respectively. Meanwhile, most defects on Jalan Perdana Utama were delamination, accounting for 38 % of all defects. The statistics on the number of road accidents show that pavement restoration work is effective when it results in a decrease in accidents between 2015 and 2021 by 42 % in Jalan Taman Putra, 33 % in Jalan Bunga Raya, and 12 % in Jalan Perdana Utama.
