9. A self-explaining road .... Giving drivers good information about the road ahead makes the driving task easier, enables drivers to make better choices and reduces the risk of an accident. This is the essence of a self-explaining road. 9
10. .... and a forgiving road environment. A forgiving road environment is about constructing flatter batters and side slopes, covering drains, marking hazards which cannot be removed, providing safety barriers where there are steep slopes, etc., so that if a vehicle leaves the road or its lane, the risk of a serious or fatal accident is reduced. 10
15. Crash reduction reporting process Collect and analyse accident data Identify potential sites (locations or routes) Inspect site, accompanied by Balai and Polda / Polres (relate road user behaviour and infrastructure issues with accident analysis) Produce report with recommended crash countermeasures (blackspot report) 14
17. Crash reduction implementation process For a selected site (location or route) Complete a field survey and design the recommended works Produce detailed engineering drawings Produce a specification of the works and a bill of quantities Issue implementation document 16
