Information and Education In The Field of Traffic
Information in the field of traffic / transportation includes three main pillars, namely:
a. Conscious and orderly traffic education can be implemented in a way
- Education of driving through the courses.
- Socialization of road laws and traffic regulations through the improvement of school curricula, the distribution of brochures on how to drive a good and true.
b. Information on schedules and public transportation routes and route suggestions (Information Management).
c. The recommended speed of information through electronic signs on the road.
Safety Aspect For Transport Users
Keys in the field of transportation safety aspects of transport users (Road users):
a) Physical and Psychological Abilities
b) Personality characteristics: - Information sensory, - decision making, - action.
c) Information Gathering.
d) Lack inexperiences skill.
e) Bad driving and poor judgment.
f) Reckless indecisive action
g) Poor medical treatment
Traffic Management Strategy With Information
The purpose of this information is for infrastructure and transportation facilities are already available can be used optimally by the users of the road. This information can be 'geo-routes' (maps that inform the direction of travel routes), booklets operation of public transport lanes, information brochures crossings, street names, places of transit, etc..
This information includes:
1) Education and orderly traffic aware: includes a procedure for driving, parking is good, that adhere to traffic regulations. This strategy can be done through the improvement of the school curriculum / course of driving, as well as brochures on how good driving.
2) Information on traffic and road conditions: it can be done through radio, television, mass media about the occurrence of congestion, accidents, parades, etc.. on certain roads, so that alternatives can be chosen another route.
3) Information on timetables and public transport lanes, routes and advice: be via radio, brochures, announcements relating to this.
4) Information Suggested speed: with through electronic signs mounted on the side of the road.
Traffic Management Strategies With System Settings.
Regulatory system in question can be either a command or prohibition. Tool command or prohibition may be traffic signs, road markings or traffic signals. Traffic management systems can be distinguished:
a. At the crossroads, which include:
1) Installation of traffic signals are required only in places with high traffic flow.
2) Optimization of traffic signal such as: optimize cycle time, green time, and number of phases.
3) Giving priority to buses at intersections
4) Conduct signal coordination between intersections, so the main flow of traffic can pass through several intersections without stopping.
b. At the ends of the crossroads, which may include:
1) Determination of one way road
2) Turn left at red lights, which made for a special lane left separate, without interrupting the continuous flow or turn right.
3) The reduction or prohibition of turning vehicles (restrictions on turning movements), with the intention of reducing the conflict.
4) The closure of small streets / side (closing side-streets)
c. Lane utilization, which may include:
1) Setting 'flow-pairs' (tidal flow operation), ie using a strip that can be reversed, which performed at peak hours, on roads that have an uneven distribution of directions.
2) Special Lane for public transport, with the intention of improving services for the users of public transport services.
3) The separate bus lanes (exclusive bus-lane operation)
4) Prohibition passengers for cars less than 3 people with a view to reducing the density of traffic (in Jakarta. Three-in-one).
d. Utilization of the road (Curb), which can be:
1) Prohibit parking and loading and unloading, with a view to increasing road capacity.
2) Placement of bus stops in places that do not interfere with traffic flow.
e. Speed restrictions, ie restrictions on the maximum vehicle speed in order to improve traffic safety.
f. Parking arrangements, which may include:
1) special parking for public transport, especially the tourist bus parking is very disturbing traffic.
2) Limitation of parking time and parking control, with a view to efficiency, and optimize parking revenue funds.
Traffic Regulations
The traffic regulations should cover all aspects of control of vehicle, driver and other road users. The regulations should be rational. The following are some of the regulations that are enforced from the point of view of safe traffic operations.
Traffic regulations and laws give legal coverage for strict enforcement. The traffic laws implemented by legislative laws are obligatory on all road users. The laws should however be uniform and clear. Traffic regulations and laws cover the following four phases.

Driver controls
These include driving licenses for light and heavy motor vehicles, driver tests and minimum requirements, financial responsibility and civil liability
Vehicle controls
The various regulations and controls on vehicles are vehicle registration, requirements of vehicles, equipment and accessories, maximum dimensions and weight and fitness and inspection of vehicles.
Flow regulations
Regulations of traffic flow have been laid down such as direction, turning and overtaking, etc. In addition control of vehicle operation in traffic stream are made using appropriate regulatory signs like one way, speed limit, prohibitory signs, pedestrian controls, etc.
General controls
Some other general regulations and provisions are made to report accidents and recording and disposing traffic violation cases

Traffic Laws and Ordinances
This article is about highway and transport engineering, this time we talk about Traffic Laws and Ordinances
The need for traffic regulations becomes abundantly clear when one considers that there re over 100 million motor vehicles registered in the United States, driven by more than 103 million drivers, covering over 1,000 billion vehicle-miles per year, over 3.7 million miles of roads and streets! In addition, motor vehicle accidents in 1968 resulted in 55,200 death and 2.0 million injuries. All of these facts completely justify the need for traffic, driver, and pedestrian regulations. Each intersection and every mile of highway is a potential point of accident or congestion.
The question of adequate traffic regulations is intimately related to the problem of moving people and goods safely and efficiently. The general public resents regulations, and from the public’s standpoint, the observance of traffic rules is largely dependent on the clarity. Reasonableness, and uniformity of the regulations. The proper purpose of all traffic legislation is not to impose unnecessary of unreasonable restrictions on highway traffic, but to insure, as far as this can be done by law and its enforcement, that traffic should move smoothly, expeditiously, and safely and that no legitimate users of the highway, whether in a vehicle or on a foot, shall be killed, injured or frustrated in such use by improper behavior of others. On the official’s side, traffic administration can be properly integrated, with authority and responsibility fixed by law.
Both traffic laws and ordinances are legislative actions. They differ only in the legal terminology applied. Traffic laws are generally enacted by state legislatures. Ordinances are classified as “legislative acts,” and are generally passed by local municipal legislative bodies. As such, the latter can usually be effected or rescinded more quickly than former, which may or may not be a benefit
