The document outlines the principles of the Safe System Approach for road safety in Indonesia. The approach aims to minimize injury from crashes by making roads, vehicles, and users safer. It involves safer speeds, education, safer roads and vehicles, understanding risks, legislation and enforcement of rules, and admittance to the system through licensing. Key elements include better data analysis, public education campaigns, enforcement through policing and cameras, and graduated licensing programs. The overall goal is to eliminate deaths and serious injuries through a systematic, multi-faceted approach led by government in partnership with other stakeholders.
