RSA Summary
16 RSA Reports
 Lead auditors included Andria Fitra (1),
Arief Rizaldi (1), Jany Agustin (3) and Victor
Taufik (1)
 6 reports being translated into Bahasa
Indonesia
 1 report was a desk-top study

How does RSA work?
RSA is a process to ensure that,
for road construction or re-construction
projects,
road user safety is not unduly comprised by
the design.

Why not make the RSA
recommendations a permanent feature
of future designs?
Often, RSA recommendations lead to a reevaluation of design standards.
12
And what if the road is already under
construction?

Auditor
RSACRP Project
1. Auditor delivers reports to Subdit LKJ,
who issues reports to the PMU
2. PMU and Subdit LKJ have “closure
meeting”, attended by the SKJ and RSEU
staff who completed the site inspection
15
Purpose of closure meeting
NOT to discuss the merits of the RSA report
recommendations;
but
to determine if there are circumstances or
issues which may be relevant to or impact on
the recommendations.
16
3. If the closure meeting determines that
there are issues which may be relevant to
or impact on the audit report
recommendations, the Subdit LKJ may
issue a revised version of the report.

4. After consultation with IndII, the PMU
informs IndII of its decision in respect to the
audit report’s recommendations
5. The PMU directs the Supervising Consultant
on how to proceed.

RSACRP project - CR programme
CR - Crash Reduction
• CR reports for 30 sites on Jalan Pantura and
Jalintim Sumatera
• CR engineering drawings and documents
for implementation at 20 sites
19
Nearly half of all road accidents in Europe occur on
the two-lane rural road network.
 these roads have lower geometric design than
higher order roads;
 they are not as well maintained;
 head-on & run-off-road accidents are frequent,
 and linked to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
high speeds;
dangerous overtaking;
driver inattention;
design constraints;
sight restrictions; and
roadside obstacles.

Blackspot definition
site
is
A blackspot should be defined as any location
which:
 has a higher expected number of
sites
accidents, than at other similar locations,
 as a result of local risk factors.

European Commission, 2005-2007.
21
Blackspot - a definition for Indonesia
A blackspot is defined as any site which:
 has a higher number of accidents, than at
other similar sites,
 as a result of local risk factors.
A site may be either
• a location (a curve, an intersection, etc.),
or,
• a route (typically 1 km to 20 km long).

Three (of several) key provisions which
will improve road user safety
• Provide sealed shoulders
• Provide delineation of the road alignment
at bends and sharp curves
• Marking hazards, particularly the end walls
on narrow bridges
27
Use of the road space
On developed networks:
In rural areas, vehicles travel in the traffic
lane together with some motorcycles which
travel at a similar speed to the vehicles.
There are no pedestrians;
In urban areas, where there are pedestrians,
they typically walk on footpaths which are
separated from the traffic lanes by a kerb.

Shoulder looks like another traffic lane.
Shoulder is too wide and the outer edge

Recommended carriageway widths
On Pantura and Jalintim, from a road safety
perspective, the ideal road cross-section
widths on 2-lane 2-way sections in rural areas
are:
 traffic lanes: 3.5 m each
 shoulder: 2.0 m total each side, of which
• 1.5 m is sealed and
• 0.5 m is gravel
