The imbalance population and number of vehicles increasing from year to year with number of roads causing traffic jam. Build toll road is the government's effort to solve traffic jam. The construction of toll roads that carried out by Government is expected to be able reduce traffic jam on arterial roads but in reality, does not reduce traffic jam even though traffic jam still exist on toll roads. Traffic jam causes stress and fatigue and can lead to traffic accidents. Indonesia has a much higher mortality rate compared to other countries. Traffic accidents are influenced by three main factors: human factors, vehicle factors, and road factors. To improve road safety and high number of deaths each year, it will be carried out research by direct observation using the Road Safety Audit (RSA) form of the Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road. The result of this research by direct observation on Kunciran-Serpong Toll Road in general there are still many shortcomings, such as various types of road damage and pavement, there are no signs to bend to the left or right, the drainage system is not good on several roads, and the median is not good because not all segments get fenced. Keywords: Traffic Jam; Accident, Toll; Road Safety AuditAbstrakSeiring dengan pertambahan jumlah penduduk maka jumlah kendaraanpun terus berkembang dari tahun ke tahun, sedangkan panjang ruas jalan tidak dapat menyusul secara signifikan, hal ini mengakibatkan terjadinya kemacetan lalu lintas. Upaya pemerintah mengurangi kemacetan dengan membangun jalan Tol yang diharapkan untuk mampu mengurangi kemacetan yang ada di jalan arteri. namun pada kenyataannya tidak mengurangi kemacetan bahkan jalan tol saat ini juga mengalami kemacetan. Beberapa jalan tol dibangun untuk mengurangi kemacetan yang ada di ruas jalan tol yang lama, karena apabila tidak dikurangi maka kemacetan menyebabkan stres dan lelah fisik, mengurangi produktifitas yang akhirnya mengakibatkan kecelakaan lalu lintas. Indonesia memiliki tingkat kematian yang jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan negara lainnya di ASEAN. Kecelakaan lalu lintas dipengaruhi tiga faktor utama yaitu faktor manusia, faktor kendaraan, dan faktor jalan. Dalam rangka upaya meningkatkan keselamatan jalan dan mengurangi angka kematian setiap tahunnya maka dilaksanakan observasi langung dengan mengunakan formulir Audit Keselamatan Jalan (AKJ) atau Road Safety Audit (RSA) pada ruas jalan tol operasional. Hasil dari observasi langung pada ruas jalan tol operasional di bawah 1 tahun secara umum masih terdapat banyak kekurangannya, seperti berbagai jenis kerusakan jalan terutama pada perkerasan, tidak adanya rambu peringatan tikungan ke kiri maupun ke kanan dan beberapa rambu lainnya, kecepatan eksisting yang lebih besar dari kecepatan rencana, dan median yang kurang baik karena tidak semua ruas terdapat pembatas

Traffic accidents are increasing along with the increasing number of traffic violations, the increasing number of vehicles, especially motorcycles, and driving vehicles exceeds the maximum allowable speed (speeding). The number of traffic accidents and the number of accident victims is increasing every year. Data from the National Police Traffic Corps, road transportation accidents in 2016 recorded 106,129 cases with 26,185 fatalities, 22,558 seriously injured, 121,550 minor injuries, and property damage only Rp 226,883,000,000.00. The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, non-motorized vehicle users, children, and elderly people. The solution proposed is by mapping traffic accident-prone locations, conducting road safety audits at black spot locations to determine the conditions and handling efforts to reduce accident events in the form of installing traffic signs. The results of the road safety audit revealed that there had been a deficiency of road infrastructure in Tlahab Lor road section. One of the recommendations made is by installing traffic signs. Handling of black spot locations on the Tlahab Lor road, Karangreja that is by installing 4 (four) vehicle maximum limit signs of 40 km/h and 30 km/h. After knowing the location of black spot people is expected to be more alert and careful when passing through these roads.

Every year we lose many young road users in road traffic accidents. Based on traffic accident data issued by the Indonesian National Police in 2017, the number of casualties was highest in the age group 15-19, with 3,496 minor injuries, 400 seriously injured and 535 deaths. This condition is very alarming considering that student as the nation's next generation lose their future due to the accidents. This figure does not include other traffic violations, not having a driver license, not wearing a helmet, driving opposite the direction, those given ticket and verbal reprimand. To reduce traffic accident for young road user, road safety campaigns were organized in many schools in Jakarta. This activity aims to socialize the road safety program to increase road safety awareness among young road users/students including the dissemination of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Another purpose of this program is to accompany school administrators to set up a School Safe Zone (ZoSS), a location on particular roads in the school environment that are time-based speed zone to set the speed of the vehicle. The purpose of this paper is to promote the road safety campaigns strategies by considering various campaign tools.

Road Data

The driver of an automobile is the key part of the “driver–car–road–environment” system, the stable functioning of which determines the efficiency and safety of road traffic. The driver as the operator of the “driver –car–road–environment” system receives most of the information from the road, data from moving and standing objects, road signs, traffic lights, surface conditions and traffic conditions. An analysis of most traffic accidents shows that the weakest part of the “driver–car–road–environment" system, restricting its effectiveness and dependability, is the person. To ensure the necessary dependability and safety, the driver of any vehicle must be careful. This is supported by an appropriate psychophysiological state, which, in turn, depends on many factors. The article presents an analysis of research work taking into account the influence of various factors on the dependability of a vehicle driver. Means and methods of research are described. Recommendations are given on creating a stand for studying the influence of the psychophysiological state of the driver on road safety.

Traffic roads are a core element of GIS and many volunteered systems like openstreetmaps have the goal to make road data publicly available. Road users collecting geographical information and sharing them according some rules are a great opportunity to make our roads a safer place. Traffic accidents are a major cause of death and with increase in urbanization and motorization the risk is expected to rise higher. Research regarding road safety is mostly reactive; sections of the road where a lot of accidents has already happened are investigated and possibly causes are identified and then improved. This means, that people have to die in order to make those road sections safe. The system described in this chapter is a proactive method and can be operated by the community or some responsible authority. The gathered data is also very useful for different research areas like social sciences or civil engineering.

Road Safety Audit

Efficient road network is a part-n-parcel of rapid industralization, urbanization and development of nation. While designing roads and highways, main emphasis is given on speed which will help to reduce time of journey and save fuel. But safety of drivers and passengers travelling along road is also important. In past, it was observed that while travelling, due to excess speed passengers safety was compromised. It will lead to accidents. It may cause severe injuries and loss of human life. Therefore it is important to check every aspect of vehicles as well as road during its design, construction and throughout the life of the road. Road safety audit is conducted to check performance of new road projects on grounds of offering maximum safety. Also checks are applied to study performance of existing roads to suggest repairs, rehabiliatation and maintenance work in order to improve condition of roads. During audit process, accident prone locations are identified. Past accident record from traffic department, Police department, hospitals etc are referred to understand damage that had occured. Even road geometry is investigated on technical basis. In present investigation, particular stretch of Beed Bypass Road passing through Aurangabad city in Maharashtra state, India was selected. On this road, accident sites where major accidents occurred in past were identified and investigated for different parameters. Based upon study, different causes of accidents and thereafter preventive methods were recommended during research work.
