ABSTRACT: Pedestrian facilities in Indonesia are still very inadequate. One of the most riskiesty
pedestrian facilities that is underestimated is the pedestrian foot-bridge. The research objective of
controlling the arrangement of the pedestrian foot-bridge construction is to control the design and
location of the pedestrian foot-bridge construction, and to make the control criteria and determine
the appropriate control components. This research is done with qualitative methods, namely with
literature review. With this following study, the result is expected to be able to optimize the location
of crossing bridges, increasinge the level of security, safety, and comfort of pedestrians to cross
the street.
Keywords: pedestrian foot bridge, pedestrian, regulation, control, digital
1 INTRODUCTION
Indonesian people do not have a habit of walking. In a 2017 study conducted by researchers from
Stanford published in the Nature Journal, Indonesia was listed as the laziest country for walk in
the world (Muhammad 2019). Weather factors, minimal safety, security, and comfort factors all
greatly influence the people’s reluctance to walk. Meanwhile, based on the number of death records
in 2016, 5,005 people died due to road accidents—that’s at least 14 pedestrians every day (Rahapit
2020). Generally, pedestrians are injured or die when hit by a speeding vehicle (Ihsan 2019).
Infrastructure and facilities for pedestrians in Indonesian cities are still inadequate (Wardiningsih
& Hendarto 2019). One of the most underestimated pedestrian facilities is the pedestrian footbridge. Good pedestrian crossings must be made with regard for proper visibility and accessibility,
traffic patterns, traffic stages, prohibitions to turn right, duration/time that can be used by pedestrians, and safe measures of traffic that will allow pedestrians to traverse. For more complete
regulations of crossing facilities, refer to the Technical Guidelines for the Engineering of Pedestrian
Facilities in the City Area SK.43/AJ 007/DRJD/97, issued by the Department of Transportation,
Directorate General of Land Transportation. Some legal bases that can be referred to as the basis
for controlling the construction of pedestrian crossing bridges are as follows:
– Law No. 14 of 1992 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation (UU No. 14 1992, 1992): Pedestrians are required to walk on the facilities that have been provided and road users, especially,
must prioritize pedestrian safety.
– Law No. 4 of 1997 concerning Disabled Persons (UU No. 4 1997, 1997): Persons with disabilities
receive facilities that support their independence to use roads and public facilities.
– Law No. 28 of 2002 concerning Buildings (UU No. 28 2002, 2002).
– Law No. 38 of 2004 concerning Roads (UU No. 38 2004, 2004).
– Law No. 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning (UU No. 26 2007, 2007).
