Daftar Isi:
- In recent years the use of motorcycle increase drastically in Indonesia. Most of the accident in Indonesia was motorcycle related. Therefore the attention of protecting the riders through promoting compliance to the helmet use and the maximum number of riders per motorcycle is required. This present study is intended to observe the characteristics of helmet use and motorcycle occupancy in Jakarta. Data collection was made on Tuesday (representing normal working days) and Saturday (representing weekend). Each day the observation was carried out in three periods (morning, noon and afternoon) and each period consists of two hours. Traffic count for other vehicle types (light vehicle and heavy heavy vehicle) was also done to allow V/C analysis as a proxy of riders awareness of possible police enforcement. The result shows that about 85% of the riders and passengers wore helmet and less than 2% of motorcycle occupancy was exceeding maximum number of riders.
