Bicycle lanes to improve road user safety and urban air quality

Abstract

The government should provide paths for pedestrians and cyclists base on Indonesia Government Regulation No. 22 of 2009. Kampung Inggris located in Pare District is a destination for local tourists to learn English. Tourists and residents in Pare sub-district use bicycles for their daily mobility. Currently, there is a mix of traffic in the Pare Central Business Districts (CBD), this is due to the unavailability of bicycle lanes in that area. The purpose of this research is to determine a bicycle lane to improve cyclist safety and improve air quality in the Pare CBD. The analytical method used in this research is stochastic traffic assignment to assign the bicycle route by using the Origin-Destination of the cyclist. The results showed the origin-destination movement for bicycle users in Pare District is mostly directed to Tulungrejo, Pare, Tretek. There are three alternative routes based on the results of the analysis which will serve as a typical bicycle route in the Pare CBD. There are several facilities to support typical bicycle lanes such as markers, traffic signs, and bicycle parking which must be prepared and equipped to support typical bicycle lane planning facilities in the Pare CBD.
