Road safety improving in blackspot of Mount Bromo tourist road access, East Java

Abstract

Abstract Mount Bromo in East Java is one of Indonesia’s priority tourist attractions. Safe, secure, orderly, and smooth traffic access is needed to support tourism. Safe roads can be an essential part of realizing this. This study aims to prioritize handling blackspots to discover safe roads. The research was conducted on three access roads to Mount Bromo from Probolinggo: Jalan Raya Sukapura, Jalan Raya Bromo, and Jalan Raya Lumbang. Analysis of the probability value of accidents, the impact value of the severity of accident victims, and the risk value of accidents are used to determine handling priorities. The results of the analysis obtained priority handling for Blackspot 1 by increasing the width of the road shoulder, Blackspot 2 by providing a crossing integrated with APILL, Blackspot 3 by completing street lighting and increasing lane width, Blackspot 4 by completing street lighting, and Blackspot 5 by increasing lane width. Prioritizing the handling of accident-prone locations in the road and environmental aspects can be done by reviewing the risk value of accidents for each road sub-component. A safe road will be realized at the Blackspot location.
