Assessment of drivers' Perceptions of the 120 km/h speed limit

Abstract

Road accidents from 2020 to 2021, according to a report from the Ministry of Transport, found that 78% of the accidents were caused by driver negligence, caused by driving at a speed exceeding the specified rate. Determine the speed rate of vehicles on national highways or rural roads 2021 on March 10, 2021, requiring "personal cars" to use a speed not exceeding 120 km/h and if in the far right box Use a speed of not less than 100 kilometers per hour. In this research, the research team conducted a study to assess the perception of drivers towards the speed limit of 120 km/h between Highway No. 32 and Motorway No. 7, which is a route that requires vehicles to not exceed the speed limit. 120 km/hr. The results of the assessment of the perception of the driver's perception of the 120 km/hr speed law of the drivers on the roads on 2 routes, Motorway No. 7 and Highway No. 32, found that the perception of a safe speed For vehicles on Highway No. 7 and Highway No. 32 that are lower than the legal speed limit of 120 km/h and found that the factors affecting the safe speed limit on Highway No. 7 and highway Number 32 is the number of people using fragile roads (bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians), intersections and U-turns. However, both roads have road conditions that are factors that affect accidents, especially activities on both sides of the road. different, so when increasing the speed more Therefore, there should be safety management for connecting roads and speed limits in community areas to reduce the likelihood of road accidents. In addition, the public sector should assess safety perceptions together with safe road conditions/characteristics to determine Safe speeds for areas, especially in areas with heavy roadside activity and communities.
