Perancangan Fasilitas Pejalan Kaki di Jalan Utama Kampus Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis

The addition of adequate pedestrian facilities is crucial to support the mobility and safety of the academic community within the campus environment. Currently, the main road of the Bengkalis State Polytechnic Campus lacks pedestrian facilities, causing inconvenience and potential accident risks. This study aims to design optimal pedestrian facilities to improve comfort, safety, and smooth mobility on the main road of the campus. The methods used include evaluating existing conditions, measuring pedestrian volumes, and analyzing needs based on the technical standards of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Circular Letter No. 02 of 2018. The survey results indicate that current pedestrian facilities are inadequate, especially during peak hours. The design is carried out with a sidewalk width of 3.5 meters in each segment, accommodating roadside zones and supporting facilities such as zebra crossings for safety aspects. The design visualization is made in 3D using SketchUp to depict functional and aesthetic aspects realistically. The stimated total budget for the construction of pedestrian facilities reaches Rp 2,226,415,237.00. The implementation of this plan is expected to improve the quality, safety, and comfort of pedestrian paths within the campus environment in a sustainable manner.
