Abstract
Proportion of motorcycles in large cities in Indonesia as a developing country is around 60%-71% of all vehicles and increases 19%-37%every year. Data from Indonesia Statistics Centre Bureau indicated that number of motorcycle increase from 13,563,017 in 2000 to 92,976,240 in 2014. This condition leads worse traffic congestion in large cities and more specific at signalized intersections. Motorcycles usually stop everywhere including among cars and in front of stop-line at signalized intersection during red time period. One of solutions to reduce the poor traffic congestion is implementation of exclusive stopping space (ESS) for motorcycle. Manual of ESS for motorcycle in Indonesia is used as a guidance of implementation. The aim of this study is to determine signalized intersections that need ESS for motorcycle, determine the type, and then evaluate the implementation. This study is specific, important, and crucial to do because usually exclusive stopping space in developed countries is for bicycle. Case study is carried out at all signalized intersections in large city Bandung in Indonesia. Results of study indicated that ESS for motorcycle is needed with 52.2%-100% effectiveness. Furthermore, recommendation that could be provided is more specific ESS guidance for existing variation of lane widths.
Highlights
Traffic congestion usually occurs in large cities in developing countries including in Indonesia
This study is very specific, important, and crucial to do because usually exclusive stopping space in developed countries is for bicycles
Signalized intersections that fulfil general requirement, geometric requirements and traffic requirement (30 motorcycles stop at leg intersection with 2 lanes and 45 motorcycles stop at leg intersection with 3 lanes, during red time period) is only 4 intersections
Summary
Traffic congestion usually occurs in large cities in developing countries including in Indonesia. This condition is worse because number of motorcycle in the large cities in Indonesia is around 60% up to 71% of number of all vehicles and increase 19% up to 37% per year [1]. They stop everywhere among cars and even in front of stop-line at signalized intersections during red time periods. One of solutions to reduce the poor traffic congestion is implementation of exclusive stopping space (ESS) for motorcycle. Results of this study are beneficial for large city Bandung and other large cities in Indonesia, and beneficial for other large cities in other developing countries that have similar traffic and geometric conditions
