Abstract
To create a sustainable, safe, and dynamic transportation system, it is crucial to prioritize pedestrian safety. Pedestrians are considered vulnerable road users, and the severity of their injuries in motor vehicle accidents is relatively high. This study aims to evaluate the cost benefits by comparing the estimated reduction in accident losses with the costs incurred for improving crossing facilities using pelican crossings. The average accident loss is calculated in areas with crosswalks, along with the investment costs for enhancing pedestrian facilities by adding signals. From this, the benefits of reducing accident losses due to improved pedestrian facilities can be estimated. In the Polda Metro Jaya (PMJ) jurisdiction, the average accident loss at locations with zebra crossings is IDR 144,988,136, while the measurement cost based on the Transportation Agency's work plan is IDR 175,000,000. The benefit-cost analysis yields a ratio of 0.207, indicating that enhancing pedestrian crossing safety will provide long-term benefits.
