History
The Tun Razak Highway is the brainchild of Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah. The construction of the highway began in 1970 and was completed in 1983. Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah himself inaugurated the Tun Razak Highway in 1983 when he was the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at that time. The Tun Razak Highway was gazetted as the Federal Route 12 on 19 October 1989.
Built under Malaysia's New Economic Policy, this 2-lane federal highway is built with reasons as follows:-
Even though the highway is generally straight with less sharp corners, the Tun Razak Highway is notorious for its many accidents due to the steady increase of traffic. On 20 June 2010, Malaysian Ministry of Works, Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor, proposed the Tun Razak Highway to be upgraded to a four-lane highway as a preventive measure to reduce accidents.
Notable features
At most sections, the Federal Route 12 was built under the JKR R4 road standard, allowing maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h.
Federal Route 106 Jalan Belimbing-Pahang Tua (1.1 km) overlaps with Tun Razak Highway. There are no alternate routes or sections with motorcycle lanes.
