Summary

This video covers the key components of roads as outlined by Indonesian law, specifically Laws No. 38/2004, No. 2/2022, and No. 11/2020. It explains the various sections of a road, including road benefit areas, road ownership, and road supervision. Detailed specifications are given for the dimensions of different road types, including freeways, arterial roads, and local roads, with emphasis on lane widths, shoulder sizes, and the inclusion of features like medians and separators. The law also specifies construction requirements, ensuring roads are safe, accessible, and well-structured for future expansions.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Indonesian Law No. 38/2004 on roads defines different road components and their specifications.
• 😀 The Road Benefits Space (Ruang Manfaat Jalan) includes the road surface, drainage, and safety barriers, with specific width, height, and depth determined by the authorities.
• 😀 Different types of roads have varying minimum width requirements, such as expressways at least 42.5 meters wide for 4 lanes, and smaller roads with a minimum width of 8.5 meters.
• 😀 Road Ownership Space (Ruang Milik Jalan/Rumija) encompasses land outside the road benefit space for future expansions or safety requirements.
• 😀 Road Surveillance Space (Ruang Pengawasan Jalan) is designated for monitoring and ensuring driver visibility and road safety.
• 😀 Expressways, major roads, secondary roads, and smaller roads have distinct specifications for their width, with expressways having the widest minimum dimensions.
• 😀 Road surfaces (Badan Jalan) must include lanes, shoulders, and medians with appropriate widths depending on the road type and terrain.
• 😀 Lane widths vary depending on the type of road, with expressways having wider lanes (3.6 meters for high-speed traffic), and smaller roads having a minimum of 1.5 meters per lane for smaller vehicles.
• 😀 Shoulders are mandatory on all roads, with specific paving requirements depending on the terrain, such as 3.5 meters for flat terrain and smaller dimensions for mountainous roads.
• 😀 Median strips are used to separate opposite directions of traffic, and they can be either raised or lowered. Lane dividers also separate lanes going in the same direction, especially for vehicles with different speeds or operational needs.

Q & A

What is the primary legal framework governing road infrastructure in Indonesia?

The primary legal framework is the Indonesian Law No. 38 of 2004 concerning Roads, which was amended by Law No. 2 of 2022 and further impacted by Law No. 11 of 2020 on job creation.

What are the main components of a road as outlined in Indonesian law?

The main components of a road include road utility space, road ownership space, and road surveillance space. Each has specific functions like traffic management and construction safety.

How is the width of a road determined according to Indonesian regulations?

The width of a road depends on the type of road and its intended function. For example, a dual carriageway with 4 lanes requires a minimum width of 42.5 meters, while a smaller road might only require 8.5 meters.

What is the minimum width required for an expressway under Indonesian road standards?

An expressway should have a minimum width of 42.5 meters for a 4-lane configuration, and 35.5 meters for a 3-lane configuration.

What is the role of the road surveillance space?

The road surveillance space is designed for unobstructed driver visibility and for ensuring the safety of road construction and functionality. It must be outside the road ownership space but under the supervision of road authorities.

What does the term 'road ownership space' (Rumija) refer to?

Road ownership space (Rumija) refers to the area designated outside of the road utility space that is reserved for future road expansion and safety measures. It includes the width, depth, and height designated for the road's planned use.

What are the minimum dimensions for a local road?

For a local road, the minimum width is 7.5 meters, and it must have a minimum height of 5 meters and a depth of at least 1.5 meters.

What is the significance of the shoulder of a road (Bahu Jalan)?

The shoulder of the road is a critical safety feature. It must be reinforced with a proper surface to accommodate emergency stops, ensure traffic flow, and manage stormwater runoff.

How are the lanes and markings defined on different types of roads?

On expressways and highways, lanes are defined by continuous and broken lines, whereas on smaller roads, lane markings are measured from the centerline or edge line, depending on the type of road.

What is the function of the median on a highway?

The median is used to separate opposing traffic flows on highways and expressways, and it can either be raised or lowered depending on the design. It serves both safety and traffic flow purposes.
