Road safety management
 The road safety partnership is focused on strengthening coordination and management of
road safety;
 The Indonesian National Police has an independent agency called the Indonesian National
Traffic Police Corps. This police corps is tasked with addressing and enforcing road safety in
Indonesia;
 The establishment of Law22/2009 has been an important step. This law is generally for the
Indonesian National Traffic Police Corps (INTPC). Under the law, the INTPC is charged with
the responsibility for road traffic and transport safety;
 Furthermore, the inclusion of the Provincial and Regency/City Governments in the law, is an
important step, ensuring that all levels of the government take an active role in road safety;
 Bringing leaders in Indonesian society, such as religious leaders, into the campaign on road
safety can be a very efficient way of creating road safety awareness.
Roads and Mobility
 Indonesia experiences extremely wet days and there can be a lot of dense fog. These factors
directly affect the road users and the (unpaved) roads;
 Two of the most critical failings at roadwork sites in Indonesia is the failure to use any
advance (road works) warning signs to warn approaching drivers of the workers ahead, and
a lack of adequate demarcation signs andmarkings to protect road workers at the work zone;
 Road conditions in Indonesia are far from ideal.
Vehicles

vehicles in 2013 were motorised 2- and 3-wheelers;
 Over involvement of buses and trucks are themain factors of accidents with buses and trucks;
 The main reasons that there are a lot of non-standard and unsafe vehicles in use is that there
are no applied vehicle standards;
