Toll roads can reduce travel time to be shorter, easier, more convenient, and smooth. However, many road users neglact safety because it’s too comfortable with road conditions that are straight, smooth, and without obstacles. Many road users who drive vehicles exceed the required traffic signs, causing traffic accident. Within 10 months of the operation of the Ngawi-Kertosono toll road on April 1, 2018, until February 24, 2019, traffic accidents reached 59 accidents on the Madiun-Wilangan toll road. From these data, it’s necessary to study the causes of toll road traffic accidents in accident-prone areas. As a first step, it’s necessary to determine the black site and black spots and the relationship between the geometric factors of the road to reduce the number of traffic accidents on the Madiun-Wilangan toll road. This calculation analysis uses the Z-Score and Cusum method by finding the black spot and black site areas. Based on the results of the analysis there are accident-prone areas on the toll road that is from KM 602 to 622 where the Z-Score is 1.733> 0 and Cusum 7.64> 0 so that the accident-prone area can be found on the Black Site and Black Spot results on the road location Madiun, Caruban and Caruban-Wilangan toll road. Suggestions from research need to be conducted outreach or outreach related to traffic and road safety regulations that often have accidents.

The limited funding for the road industry leads to economizing in the planning of road network maintenance, to identifying the appropriate priorities of the activities with the greatest benefit for the society. The level of maintenance is the direct assessment of the road operation and maintenance service provided to the road users; it directly affects the road maintenance and for road users costs the better is road maintenance, the road users incur the fewerexpenses and vice versa. Insufficient road maintenance in the winter time causes not only the danger of traffic accidents but also worsens the driving conditions, increases the fuel consumption, vehicle depreciation, transportation becomes more expensive. Many results of studies showed that the current choice of maintenance levels in the winter time taking into account only the road category and traffic volume does not ensure the indicators of the most advanced world countries and road functional purpose. The principle of the minimal expenses for the society should be the main criterion in identifying the optimal levels of winter road maintenance. The experience of Lithuania and foreign countries helped in creating the model of assessment of winter maintenance levels for Lithuanian roads of national significance, which can be applied in the other foreign countries as well. This model could be an effective tool for the selection of the optimal maintenance levels, which would economically substantiate the winter road maintenance strategy, that best corresponds to the needs of the society.

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.

The world is paying more and more attention to the safety of vulnerable road users, and especially the safety of pedestrians. The reason for that is the large representation of vulnerable participants in the total number of victims in traffic accidents. Belgrade stood out as especially unsafe for pedestrians, because their endangerment is higher than the world average, but also higher than in the rest of Serbia. In order to increase the safety of pedestrians, appropriate management measures are applied, which are, as a rule, based on the recognized influencing factors of the occurrence of these accidents. For that reason, it is extremely important to define the real influencing factors in the right way. One of the best tools for recognizing the impact of road factors is the independent assessment of the impact of the road on accidents, which the road manager, according to the Law, is obliged to conduct in the event of a traffic accident with fatalities. The paper analyzes 59 traffic accidents with dead pedestrians, which occurred in the period from 15.05.2019. to 06/02/2021 years on the territory of the city of Belgrade and for which an independent assessment of the impact of the road was conducted. The results indicate that the road factor had an impact on the occurrence of more than half of the traffic accidents with dead pedestrians. Also, the results indicate the existence of a number of different influencing factors, which indicates the need for further implementation of these analyzes. The paper presents characteristic examples of the most commonly identified influencing factors.

Abstract: Traffic signs that are installed on either side of the road that we often see when driving on the highway have certain meanings and goals. The installation of traffic signs is one of the public services that the government must carry out by the relevant agencies for the convenience of road users and reduce the number of traffic accidents. Aside from being a guide, the signs also functioned as a warning for road users about the conditions and situation of the road to be passed. For this reason, road users must understand and understand the meaning of the signs installed. But for various reasons, many people have not had the opportunity to learn and understand the meaning and purpose of signs of traffic signs. With the development of computer technology and video animation, learning methods about understanding the meaning and purpose of traffic signs can be made easier and more efficient to attract the public's interest in understanding them. Because it takes the form of animated videos and tutorials, so it's easy to display and play back if the learning participants don't understand. With the community service from STMIK Royal to Porsea Sector Police, we are trying to help the police station to introduce traffic signs to the community using the animated video tutorial method. This animated video tutorial uses Adobe Flash. Keywords: Adobe Flash, Animation, Traffic Signs            Abstrak: Rambu-rambu lalu lintas yang dipasang pada kanan kiri jalan yang sering kita lihat saat berkendara dijalan raya memiliki arti dan tujuan tertentu. Pemasangan rambu-rambu lalulintas adalah salah satu dari pelayanan publik yang wajib diadakan pemerintah oleh dinas terkait demi kenyamanan  pengguna jalan dan mengurangi angka kecelakaan lalulintas. Selain sebagai penunjuk jalan, rambu tersebut juga difungsikan untuk peringatan untuk pengguna jalan tentang kondisi dan situasi jalan yang akan dilalui. Untuk hal tersebut maka pengguna jalan harus mengerti dan memahami arti dari rambu-rambu yang terpasang. Namun dengan berbagai sebab, banyak masyarakat yang belum  berkesempatan belajar dan memahami tentang arti dan maksud dari tanda rambu lalu lintas. Dengan berkembangnya teknologi komputer dan video animasi, metode pembelajran tentang pemahaman arti dan maksud dari rambu lalulintas dapat dibuat semakin mudah dan efisien untuk menarik minat masyarakat dalam memahaminya. Karena berbentuk video  animasi dan tutorial, sehingga mudah ditampilkan dan putar ulang jika peserta pemebelajaran belum paham. Dengan adanya pengabdian masyarakat  dari STMIK Royal ke Polsek Porsea ini, kami berusaha membantu polsek untuk mengenalkan rambu lalulintas kepada masyarakat dengan metode video tutorial animasi. Video tutorial animasi ini menggunakan adobe flash. Kata kunci: Adobe Flash, Animasi, Rambu-Rambu Lalulintas

This article discusses the application of help and care for hit-and-run victims that have resulted in death in the city of Pekanbaru. However, the reality in the field is that it cannot be implemented optimally. This  is because it is very difficult to find the hit-and-run perpetrator, to be held accountable for his actions, and the families of the victims / heirs to get assistance from the vehicle owner, which is regulated in Law 22 of 2009 corcening Road Traffic and Transportation. Hit-and-run cases that are not revealed by the police, become delinquent cases every year. This type of research is research conducted by identifying in the law on how the effectiveness of the law applies in society. The conclusion is tha it cannot be implemented effectively yet, because there is no clarity and firmness on the legal subject of road administrator. So it is not clear who should be responsible for traffic accidents caused by demaged roads. Efforts are pre-emptive efforts by providing outreach to all levels of society, regarding the prevention and impact of non-compliance with traffic regulations. Preventive measures (prevention), namely, installing traffic signs along the road as a guide for road users fot the creation of safety, security, order and smoothness of road traffic and transportation, as well as conducting regular patrols. Repressive measures (prosecution) which aim to provide a deterrent effect against the perpetrators of traffic violations that cause accidents resulting in death. Keywords: Application; hit-and-run; death.ABSTRAKArtikel ini membahas tentang penerapan pertolongan dan perawatan korban tabrak lari yang mengakibatkan kematian di kota pekanbaru. Namun kenyataan di lapangan, bahwa beum dapat dilaksanakan secara maksimal. Hal ini disebabkan sangat sulit mencari pelaku tabrak lari, untuk diminta  pertanggungjawaban atas perbuatanya, dan keluarga korban/ahli waris mendapatkan bantuan dari pemilik kendaraan, yang telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan. Kasus tabrak lari yang tidak terungkap di kepolisian, menjadi tunggakkan perkara setiap tahunnya. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian yang dilakukan dengan cara mengadakan identifikasi hukum bagaimana efektivitas hukum itu berlaku dalam masyarakat. Kesimpulan adalah adalah masih belum dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif, karena belum ada kejelasan dan ketegasan tentang subyek hukum penyelenggara jalan. Sehingga belum ada kejelasan pula siapa yang harus mempertanggungjawabkan kecelakaan lalu lintas yang diakibatkan rusaknya jalan. Upaya adalah upaya pre-emtif dengan memberikan penyuluhan di seluruh lapisan masyarakat, tentang pencegahan dan dampak dari ketidakpatuhan terhadap peraturan lalu lintas. Upaya preventif (pencegahan) yaitu, pemasangan rambu-rambu lalu lintas di sepanjang jalan sebagai petunjuk bagi para pengguna jalan demi terciptanya keselamatan, keamanan, ketertiban, dan kelancaran lalu lintas dan angkutan jalan, serta melakukan patroli secara rutin. Upaya represif (penindakan) yang bertujuan untuk memberikan efek jera, terhadap pelaku pelanggaran lalu lintas yang menimbulkan kecelakaan berakibat kematian.
