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 7
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. 8

Why not make the RSA recommendations a permanent feature of future designs? Often, RSA recommendations lead to a re- evaluation of design standards. 12
And what if the road is already under construction? 13
Suggested implementation process for the current 16 EINRIP Projects 14 EINRIP PMU IndII EINRIP Supervising Consultant Subdit LKJ Auditor RSACRP Project
Implementation process - Stage 1 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 EINRIP PMU Subdit LKJ Auditor RSACRP Project
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. 17
Implementation process - Stage 2 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. 18 EINRIP PMU IndII EINRIP Supervising Consultant

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. 20
Blackspot definition A blackspot should be defined as any location which: has a higher expected number of accidents, than at other similar locations, as a result of local risk factors. RiPCORD-iSEREST project, European R & D project supported by the European Commission, is site sites
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). 22

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. 28

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 35
