Abstract

Traffic accidents involving animals occur every year. Roadkill is a serious problem faced by the whole world, including Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to modify road accessories to prevent accidents, both from animals and road users. Prevention can be done in several ways, such as by installing fences or creating crossing paths, for animals. The fence can be used as a barrier between the driving lane and the animal path, where they can carry out activities such as playing without disturbing road users. Meanwhile, the making of crossing paths can be used by animals as access for animal migration. This study would like to propose a design for implementing cross-fencing mitigation at Gladak Perak Bridge at Lumajang, Indonesia. This location is an accident-prone area due to the sudden crossing of monkeys, which has been a myth in the community. Through the implementation of the installation of road dividers, it is hoped that the road design at the research site becomes wildlife friendly road and the management of traffic also meet the Indonesian design standards for inter-city roads without reducing tourism potential.
