After the country gained independence, the road system has been improved through rapid development planning every five years which launched by the government (Malaysia Plan). The meaning of Federal roads category is all roads declared under the Federal Roads Ordinance (1959).

Sustainability for road projects can be defined as concept integrates the economic, societal and environmental aspects which the road projectability to meet our needs without compromising the ability of the next generations to meet theirs. In Malaysia, it is generally found sustainable were evaluated based on planning, design and construction stage and the most commonly used tools are pHJKR. Sustainability of road has not been re-assess after the project defect liability period ends. Referring to a concession maintenance contract, there is no clear indication of the responsibility of concession companies to the compliance of sustainable criteria of the certified roads. No specified tool to measurement on the maintenance of roads in order to assess and evaluate the sustainable elements compliance.
