However as motorization in Indonesia has increased rapidly in recent years,the necessity for road improvement has risen From this background the first edition of “ Standard Specifications for Geometric Design of Urban Roads " was developed in 1988 and provided design criteria to be applied to new construction and betterment projects in urban roads.
