Abstract

Road infrastructure is very important for the development of the economy and human mobility throughout the world. However, behind the importance of this extensive road network, a primary challenge continues to grow, namely the construction of safe and efficient road geometry. Due to the high population density in Indonesia, traffic jams and accident rates have increased. Serious accidents can occur if the road geometry is not suitable. This research has the main objective of carrying out planning regarding visibility distances and the condition of road facilities, such as existing lighting and traffic signs, to develop practical recommendations that can be implemented to increase traffic efficiency and safety at the Babakan Anyar - Kadipaten Highway location. The primary data collection method involves using official documents and reports following the guidelines in the Procedure for Geometric Planning of Inter-City Roads through the Director General of Highways in 1997. On the Babakan Anyar - Kadipaten Highway, which is included in the provincial road category and is a type of road arterie with flat terrain conditions, it has been decided to set a design speed of 100 km/hour for this research. Based on the 100 km/h design speed used in this research, the minimum stopping visibility required is 175 meters. However, because the planned value measured is 181.92 meters, the stopping visibility distance (Jh) is 181.92. Likewise, the minimum required visibility distance is 670 meters, but the value obtained is 751.89 meters, so a visibility distance (Jd) of 751.89 meters is used. In addition, lighting facilities are needed to increase visibility and reduce the risk of accidents by ensuring drivers can see the road, traffic signs, and obstacles.

Abstract

At night, road lighting is very important for a driver. Apart from reducing the number of traffic accidents, good street lighting can also reduce the level of street crime that can occur. As time goes by, human activities are not limited by time. Many people choose to be active day and night to pursue efficiency and effectiveness of time. Apart from playing an important role in various social activities, street lighting is also very important for the sustainability of the traffic system. In this case, the case that occurred on the Kertajati – Kadipaten road was that there was no adequate street lighting. This reduces visibility and also the driver's safety level at night. This research aims to evaluate the location of the Kadipaten – Kertajati road, which does not yet have a good street lighting system, and see the impact on motorists. This research was located on the Kertajati – Kadipaten highway, more precisely on the Babakan Anyar village highway, Kadipaten – Monjot Bridge. The research method used in this research is a qualitative method with perception analysis. The parameters used are the respondents' perception of the importance and satisfaction with street lighting on this road, using a scale of 1 to 5 from not important to very important and not satisfied to very satisfied. Data was processed using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. Data collected from 40 respondents was divided based on age, gender, and vehicle used when crossing the Kertajati – Kadipaten road. From the results of the questionnaire, the majority of gender who travel the Kertajati – Kadipaten road are women. The age range of the majority who cross the Kadipaten – Kertajati road is ≤ 20 years, while those who rarely cross this road are > 60 years. Meanwhile, the most widely used vehicle is a motorbike.
