Abstract

This study addresses the road safety issues at an unsignalized intersection in Depok City, Indonesia, with the objective of developing a road safety management framework to mitigate the risks and enhance overall safety. The study identifies the intersection of Jalan Raya Tanah Baru and Jalan Raya Sawangan as a high-risk area due to its unsignalized nature, inadequate signage, absence of pedestrian crossings, and presence of side obstacles. Field observations and analysis reveal crossing conflicts, acceleration behavior, and rear-angle collisions as prevalent accident types. Based on the identified problems, the study proposes several effective solutions, including the installation of traffic control lights, enhanced signage and road markings, the construction of pedestrian crossings, the enforcement of parking regulations, and road safety education. These solutions align with international best practices, comply with local regulations, and consider the specific characteristics of the intersection. Implementing these treatments can significantly enhance intersection safety, reduce accidents, and improve traffic management in Depok City.
