Evaluation of the implementation of the motorcycle lane based on the riding experience

Abstract

Currently, two-wheeled vehicles or motorcycle dominate more than 80% of motorised vehicles in Indonesia. A large number of motorcycles result in complicated traffic operations and reduced levels of safety. Lanes separation is the best engineering solution to overcome this problem. Several cities in Indonesia have implemented special motorcycle lanes. The results of the study stated that this program was not successful. This paper tries to evaluate the application of motorcycle lanes in terms of the user’s riding experience. The Sleman Outer Ring Road in Yogyakarta which has implemented a special motorcycle lane is the location of this study. Data collection was carried out through online questionnaire interviews. Respondents provide answers on a choice of four (4) scales, namely, strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. The method of analysis used for evaluating the use of a motorcycle lane is the descriptive statistical method and the chi-square test. Based on the experience of riding on an exclusive motorcycle lane, assessment of the special motorbike lane geometric and traffic flow is good.
