Civil engineering (General) Road safety is the main concern of road users as well as authorities. Risk of safety on roads will increase due to several factors, one of the main factors is the present of poor weather conditions. This research examines factors that affect road safety and evaluates improvement methods of road safety due to poor weather conditions. For this purpose, the study has undergone several stages, including literature review, data collection, data analysis and conclusion. Questionnaire has been used as data collection method. The questionnaires were designed using Likert scale of five points and then analyzed using Descriptive Statistics and Relative importance index. In conclusion, this study has identified visibility to be the most significant factor that influence road safety, and found that fog caused most of lack of visibility cases during poor weather condition. Moreover, the study has ranked fog lights to be the appropriate improving method to lack of visibility during poor weather conditions. 2019-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/80837/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/80837/1/AbdirahmanAbshirEinabMSKA2019.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:125163 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering
