Abstract: In connection with
the government's obligation to take responsibility for ensuring the safety of
traffic and road transport for road users, it is necessary to conduct Surveys,
Investigations, and Design of Black Spot Location (SID-BSL) to reduce traffic
accident. Hence a guideline in conducting SID-BSL is needed. In this study, the
author compiled a simple technique of prioritization for SID-BSL procedure and
applies it to a research on National Roads in the Lampung Province. The
technique of prioritization is simplified with four phase activities namely
Preparation, Initial Analysis, Detail Survey, and Detail Analysis. The analysis
technique is based on the ranking of Black Spot Locations using weighted
accident number (WAN). Application procedure is applied on 237 events of
accident on the National Roads in Lampung Province resulting five selected BSLs
to be treated according to the availability of funds.
