7. Other Crash Statistics

8. Pedestrian Facilities (1)
The city of Bandung have
managed hard to give a
more proper facilities for
pedestrian by widening
sidewalks on some major
streets and adding some
aesthetic aspects on
them.

9. Are they creating more hazards to other
road users?

10. Pedestrian Facilities (2)
However, we will still have to improve more sidewalks on our streets.

11. Pedestrian Facilities (3)
Even when we have good zebra
crossings, most drivers will not
give way to pedestrian who will
cross the street.
We still need
many good
pedestrian
crossing
facilities.
We do not have
many crossing
bridges, our
people tend to not
using the bridge
even when it is
available near
them.

12. Bicycle Facilities
The city of Bandung has just
started its bike sharing program.
However, we still do not have safe
bicycle lanes in our streets.
Bicycle lane
that is also
shared with
motorized
vehicles. Used
to be painted in
blue, but now
the paint has
faded away.

13. Public Transport Facilities
Type of public
transport:
• Small bus
(Angkot)
• Bus (DAMRI,
Trans Metro
Bandung)
• Taxi
• Ojek (Paid
motorcycle)
Need to consider better design and
placement of bus shelters.

15. Intersection Improvement
Creating more
hazards?

16. Road User Behaviour

17. Challenges
• How to balance between safety and aesthetic?
• How to balance the needs of various road users in such narrow
roads that we have in Bandung?
• How to educate road users?

18. What Needs to Do
• Conduct road safety audits on more Bandung roads to improve
road safety condition.
• Focus on specific treatments, such as:
• Providing safer pedestrian facilities
• Providing safer bicycle lanes
• Conduct more trainings on road safety engineering for related
city officials.
