STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF URBAN ROADS MARCH 1992 A, DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF HIGHWAYS MINISTRY OF PUBLIC WORKS PREFACE The Directorate General of Bina Marga has introduced a standardization policy which endeavors to optimize investments ,designs and construction methods for highways so 2s to obtain the most efficient use of available ‘resources, finances and materials.as well as improvement of the ability of local engineers and contractors. 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. In this edition ,the basis of the standards, figures and tables have been added to the first edition in order that the standard may be understood more accurately and applied more properly. We hope that this book will be used more than before by highway engineers working in Indonesia As we realize that there is room for further improvement of these standard specifications,especially considering Indonesian road conditions,any comments and suggestions will be most wel- come. Jakarta, March 1992 Director of Urban Road Development Subagya Sastrosoegito PREFACE It is stated in the Republic of Indonesia's Road Law NO.13 1980, that roads play an essential role in promoting the nation’s development. In order to make this role function accordingly,the Government should provide guidance which may lead to professionalism for everyone involved in road development, both at the central and regional ievels. For this purpose,a standard guidance regarding Product Specifications jManuals ,Guide-lines ,Specifications snd other aspects of Planning,Design,Construction and Utilization has @ high level of necessity for achieving a more efficient and uniformed road development practice. The publishing of this book titled Standard Specifications for Geometric Design of Urban Roads is part of the efforts of Directorate General of Highways “in. promoting professionalism for everyone involved in road development. With ful] awareness of this first edition being fer from perfect,it is open for comments end suggestions for further ‘improvement Jakarta, January 1988 Director General of Highways Suryatin Sastromi eyo CONTENTS 1.

FOREWORD 1.1, Objectives The objective of these specifications is to provide design criteria and controls which shall be applied to new construction (Pembangunan baru jalan) or improvement (Peningkatan jalan) projects of urban reads in accordance with the stipulation of Article 13 of the Government Regulations on Roads (No. 26, 1985) 1.2. Application According to the government regulations (Government Regulations No. 26, 1985), roads in urban areas belong to either the primary system or secondary system. Primary system roads are distinguished from others with their superiority for through, long-distance traffic. | Consequently, their design may take different features from that of secondary roads. Secondary systems are supposed to serve intra-region/intra-city traffic. Planning and design of secondary systems should be coordinated regional/urban special plans. On the other hand, a1] roads in the urban area are subjected to common design requirements. Physical space available for road development is limited. More attention should be paid to che relation with surrounding environments Moreover, roads themselves serve many purpose as a public open space in cities and town Aware of the above, specifications in this manual were arranged in such a way as to give greatest flexibility in their application and to provide ways for variations from the standard types. Design criteria are given in three levels of requirements, namely desirable minimum (maximum), standard minimum (maximum) and exceptional minimum (maximum) . Desirable minimum (maximum) is the controls which can be used under normal conditions without any specific justification Standard minimum (maximum) is the controls which guarantees, the desirable safety minimum requirement but little comfort for road users. Exceptional minimum (maximum) is the control the adoption of which should be allowed aniy when the design conditio prescribed explicitly in this st them. dard force the designer to use 2.

HIGHWAY CLASSIFICATION AND TRAFFIC 3.1. Functional classification 3.1.1. Functional classification by Government Regulation Functional classification of roads is stipulated by Government Regulation (No. 26, 1985). It reads as follows; Article 3 (1) The Road Developer shall ensure that roads can be utilized for the maximum welfare of the people, especially in increasing up national economic growth, and further ensure that vehicle operating costs are kept at minimum levels. (2) The Road Developer shall ensure that roads serve. as an encouragement towards the objective of realizing inter-regional stability which corresponds with regional growth levels by giving due consideration to regional development units and geographical market orientation in line with the structure of regional development aimed towards development at national level. (3) In endeavoring realization of a well balanced distribution service, the Road Developer shal] ensure that roads form a unit of the entire road network system consisting of the primary road system and secondary road system sustained within the hierarchy of co-relation. Article 4 (1) The Primary Road System is drawn up in compliance with the stipulations on regional road planning and structure for regional development at a national level, which link the distribution services as follows : a. To continuously link in one Regional Development Unit from first level cities to second, third and lower levels cities down to residences. b. To link one level of city to another between Regional Development Units (2) Primary Artery Roads link first level cities located close to each other , or link first level cities with second level cities. 10 (3) Primary Collector Roads link second level cities with simile Cities, or link second level cities with third level cities. (4) Primary Local Roads link first level cities with residences, or link second level cities with residences. or link t Jevel cities with similar cities, third level cities with residences, or cities below the third level with residences. Article § (1) The Secondary Road System is drawn up in compliance with stipulations on city planning linking zones that assume primary functions, first secondary functions, second Secondary functions, third secondary function, and onwards down to private homes. (2) Secondary Artery Roads link primary to first secondary zones, or link first secondary zones to second secondary zones. (3) Secondary Collector Roads link second secondary zones to similar zones, or link second secondary zones to third secondary zones (4) Secondary Local Roads link first secondary zones to residences, and link second secondary zones to residences, and third secondary zones, and so on to residences. 3.1.2. Introduction of design classification The functional classifications are re-organized into two different design types and several classes (Design Classification) the determination of which is based on both traffic characteristics and traffic volume . The purpose of the design classification is to make it possible to deal with the geometric design of various roads in some simplified ways. 3.2. Traffic 3.2.1. P.C.U In this standard, a11 vehicle traffic volumes are expressed in p.c.u. (passenger car unit). To value vehicles in p.c.u., in flat terrain the coeffi- cients below are used : ~ passenger car/three-wheels motorized vehicle 1.0 = motorcycle 0.5 - light truck (gross weight < 5 ton)/micro bus : 2.0 - medium truck (gross weight > 5 ton) : 2.5 - bus 3.0 - heavy truck (gross weight > 10 ton) 3.0 In rolling and mountainous terrains fhe above coefficients can be raised. Unmotorized vehicles such’ as bicycles, becaks, horse-carts can not be given a p.c.u., because their running manner is quite different from that of motorized vehicles and their effect on traffic very much depends on vehicle traffic volume itself Becaks can be treated as bicycles as far as geometric design is concerned. This standard adopts the principle of lanes which maintain motorized vehicles and pedestrians/ bicycles are given separate traffic space. Where the traffic volume of bicycles or becaks is high enough to have a-significant effect on the motorized traffic flow, they should be separated by being provided with exclusive traffic space. Accordingly, the p.c.u. of bicycle/becak does not need to be discussed. 3.2.2. Design Volume Determination of the design classification of urban roads is based on the volume of traffic which is expected to use the road, in addition to its function in the road network. “Design Traffic Volume" (DVT) as used in this standard is stated in p.c.u., and shows the daily traffic volume in both directions. The design of certain road elements should be based on peak hour traffic volume, which is referred to as "Design Hourly Volume” (OHV). 12 Design hourly volume is calculated in the following way. For 2 lanes road: Design Hourly Volume (OHV) oTv * (K/100) For multi-lane road: Design Hourly Volume (OHV) " DTV * (K/100) * (0/100) Where, OHV : Design Hourly Volume (p.c.u/2 directions/hour for 2 lanes road) (p.c.u/direction/hour for multi-lane road) DTV ; Design Traffic Volume (p.c-u/2 directions/day) K : peak coefficient (%) For K the ratio of the thirtieth- hour volume per AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) is used. In case the data for thirtieth-hour volume and AADT from field observation are not available, K = 10 (%) can be used. D : direction coefficient (%) For D , the direction coefficient from field observations is used. In case field observation data are not available, 0 = 6(%) can be used. 3.3. Design classification 3.3.1. Design types Roads in urban areas shall be classified into two types acm cording to the kind of access control. The classification of types is as follows - Type I. : full access control - Type II : partial access control or no access control 3.3.2. Design classes Type I and Type II roads are classified into 2 classes and 4 classes respectively according to their functional classification and design traffic volume. (full access control } class arterial Collector i i I. | Secondary | Arterial - Type II (partial or non access control) piv (in p.c.u.) Arterial Primary Collector 20,000 or more Arterial Secondary 20,000 Collector 6,000 or more 500 or more 500 Local | f | [ | than Note: In calculating design traffic volume (DVT) for determining the highway design classification, unmotorized vehicles (including bicycle/becak) do not need to be taken into consideration. 14 3.3.3. Nature of design classification Type I, Class 1 he highest standard roads to serve inter-region or inter-city high speed traffic with full access control Class II: High standard roads to serve jinter— region or intra-metropolitan high speed traffic with full access control Type II, Class I : The highest standard streets of 4 or more lanes to serve inter-city or jntra-city, high speed, through traffic with partial access control Class II : High standard streets of 2 or more Janes to serve inter/intra~ city, Cintra-district), high speed, mainly through traffic with/without partial access control Class III: Intermediate standard streets of 2 Janes or more to serve intra~ district, moderate speed, through or access traffic without access control Class IV : Low standard streets of 1 traveled way to serve access to the road side land lots. 3.4. Design speed Design speed of urban roads shal be the value enumerated below according to the road type and class (Unie: km/hour) Type I Class I 100 or 80 Class If 100 or 60 * Type IT Class I 60 Class [1 60 or SO Class IIT 40 or 30 Class IV 30 or 20 Note : * In special conditions such as in C.6.0 18 3.5. Access contro? Access to Type I roads shall be fully controlled. Entering to or exiting from through traffic lanes is allowed only by designated access roads. Access to Type II Class I roads shall be partially controlled. Only by designated entrances or exits is access to or from through traffic lanes allowed. Access to Type II Class II roads shall be partially controlled or not controlled. The function of the road is the criterion to determine the degree of access control. Primary collector or secondary arterial roads with 4 lanes or more can be partially access controlled. Type II Class II roads used as secondary collectors shall be, usually, non-access controlled Type II Class II and Class IV roads are non-access controlled. 4. DESIGN VEHICLES 4.1.

Application In the design of Type I, Type If Class I and Class II roads the semitrailer combination and passenger car are used to determine the dimensions of the road. In the design of Type II Class III roads the single unit Vehicle and passenger car are used to determine the dimensions of the road. In the design of Type II Class IV roads the passenger car is used to determine the dimensions of the road. The single unit Vehicle can also’ be used as the design vehicle depending on the Jocation or other design factors of the road Passenger car : Single unit truck/bus Semitrailer : ST Fig. 4 Design Vehicles 7 5.
