1. Fact Finding Mission 3
Review and Discussions
Melbourne, Australia - June 2012 Atsany Buonowikarto

2. It has been a VERY busy week…

3. We learned a few things from various
presenters and visits…

4. Even had a bit of fun along the way..

5. But before you go back, let’s get
serious…

6. Knowledge is not power, that’s only half true.
It is the sharing and application of that
knowledge that gives you real power..

7. What did we go through?
 The road safety model and application in Victoria
 The importance of Partnership and Coordination
 Road safety awareness and human behavior
 Road safety programs in the regions
 Police enforcement strategies and programs
 The critical role of crash data to develop policies
and programs
 Infrastructure programs and road safety
engineering
 Road safety audits and Blackspots
 The significance of community engagement

8. The Safe System

9. The Safe System Approach
 The modern approach to improving road safety
recognises that road users will make mistakes and
crashes will occur
 Roads / roadsides and vehicles should be designed so
that there is a low probability of death or serious injury
if a road user makes a mistake
 Drivers have an obligation to drive responsibly and obey
the road rules – particularly speed limits
 This is the basis of the Safe System approach to road
safety

10. Agency roles & responsibilities
 VicRoads
– Infrastructure, Network operation & speed limits
– Registration & Licensing
– Road Safety Act & Regulations (advice to Minister for Roads)

16. Road Safety Engineering Challenges in
Indonesia
 There is a reliance on international consultants because
of lack of knowledgeable and experienced local road
safety engineers
– Risk that local factors that affect road safety will be not
understood and / or overlooked
– Need to work side by side with local engineers to ensure
that knowledge transfer is achieved
“SUSTAINABLE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT”
 Design standards and guidelines are poorly
documented, are not comprehensive and lack detail
– Road safety engineers in Indonesia need better standards
and guidelines to put theory into practice
– International standards are not always suitable for local
conditions

17. Road Safety Engineering Challenges in
Indonesia
 Road user behaviour is poor – for example, at
intersections priority is often ignored and / or not
understood
– Good design may therefore fail to deliver the best safety
outcomes
 Speed limits are poorly defined, not well understood
and not effectively enforced
– Speed management is a key element of an effective road
safety strategy
– Guidelines relating to speed limits and the use of speed
limit signs are required
– Speeding will become a greater problem as roads are
improved

18. Road Safety Engineering Challenges in
Indonesia
 Lack of pedestrian facilities – footpaths and safe road
crossings (approx. 25% of road deaths are pedestrians)
– Pedestrian deaths are probably under reported
– Where pedestrian crossings exist, they are generally
ignored by drivers and riders
