JAKARTA - Throughout 2020 or from January to October, the number of traffic accidents reached 83,715. This incident resulted in 19,320 deaths, 8,995 serious injuries, 95,134 minor injuries, and Rp163,339,918,003 material losses.
In fact, the number of victims of laka was higher than victims of natural disasters and died from disease so that this data continues to be of concern to the National Police Corps to reduce the number of traffic accidents.
The Director of Security and Safety (Dirkamsel) Korlantas Polri Brigadier General Chryshnanda Dwilaksana emphasized the importance of building a culture of orderly traffic to provide understanding to the public about the importance of obeying traffic regulations.
"This needs to be done because violations of traffic regulations are the main cause of the incident," said Chryshnanda through a press release, reported by Antara, Jakarta, Monday, November 16.
Meanwhile, the Head of Sub-Directorate for Dikmas, Korlantas Polri, Kombes Arman Achdiat, representing the Dirkamsel Korlantas Polri, said that referring to the data, awareness of orderly traffic must grow in each road user.
"Obeying is not because of fear of officers, but obedient because he is aware that traffic accidents can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere," said Arman.
Related to this, Korlantas Polri together with the Road Safety Association, Bike To Work and Pedestrian Coalition have held activities to coincide with the theme "International World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR)" which was initiated by Road Peace. The activity, which was held on Sunday, November 15 at the Hotel Indonesia Jakarta roundabout area, became a momentum to remind road users to always comply with traffic regulations for safety.
There are 100 mannequins that are likened to traffic accidents. This mannequin is placed around the HI Roundabout so that it can be seen by the public. This activity is held on a limited basis by implementing health protocols.
"With activities like this and collaborating with community traffic safety activists, it is hoped that it will increase public awareness of the importance of orderly traffic. None of us want to be victims of accidents," he said.
He emphasized that a death or injury on the road due to a traffic accident is a futile tragedy so that efforts are needed to act immediately, find a solution and prevent it from happening again.
Arman Achdiat said that in this activity, Korlantas Polri also gave assistance in the form of wheelchairs and crutches to representatives of the Laka Lantas Victims Community as a concern and encouragement to those who became victims to continue their life and life.
