Abstract

Traffic accidents are increasing along with the increasing number of motorcycles and riders who drive vehicles exceeding the maximum allowable speed limit (speeding). Data from the National Police Traffic Corps, traffic accidents in 2022 reached 137,000 cases with 27,531 deaths, 12,230 serious injuries, and 163,686 minor injuries. Road transport accident victims in Indonesia will reach 204,447 people throughout 2022. This number has increased by 33% (year-on-year), compared to victims in 2021 which reached 153,732 people. To reduce the high number and number of victims of traffic accidents, one of the efforts that can be taken is by socializing or campaigning for traffic safety from an early age and also implementing the school safety zone. The school safety zone is part of traffic management and engineering activities in the form of traffic control and use of a road section in the school environment. The community service of the science and technology application scheme was carried out at SDN 2 Grecol, Kalimanah. This service activity includes 4 activities, namely delivering road safety material, designing the school safety zone design, constructing the school safety zone, and practical trials of crossing the road safely in the school safety zone. The type of school safety zone built in front of SDN 2 Grecol is a single type.
