Abstract

Although road safety is a huge problem in develop and developing countries, road safety measures are not implemented seriously yet, especially in developing countries. Road safety measures are important to be defined and implement before, during, and after road accident occur. Furthermore, evaluation is needed after implementation of road safety measures, in order to find out whether safer road is better or not. The aim of this study is to develop road safety measurement based on existing road condition, traffic condition, accident happened, before and after implementation of road safety measures. Road safety value by indicators as the results should be implemented consistently and hard effort of all stakeholders should be done to provide safer road. Results of this study are important to reduce number and severity of casualties and moreover lead to safer road.
