Road traffic collision is a serious problem in Indonesia. More than 100.000 crashes take place each year resulting more than 30.000 deaths. This research is aimed to identify the road safety policy in Indonesia dealing with this problem. Qualitative research method is used to analyze the Road Traffic and Transport Act No. 22 of 2009, using content analysis to compare it with 5 pillars principle of Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020. Secondary data and field observation are then used to identify the constraints that obstruct the implementation process of the policy, and to determine the possible actions to eliminate those problems. It is concluded that the concept of road safety policy regulated in the Act is not comprehensively designed as an effective road traffic safety management. Several points such as the development of institutional management capacity, road user behavior, and responsiveness to postcrash emergencies, are not based on rational analysis and remedy. These disadvantages combined with limitation of resources and bureaucratic pathologies turn out to be the main restriction in achieving the road safety goals in Indonesia. In short, reformulating the road traffic policy is needed to optimize the role and responsibility of core groups of government agencies to be involved, supported with effective coordination arrangements, as well as the development of effective financial resources allocation and knowledge transfer resources. This research suggest that the country needs to develop the limitation of private vehicle system and yet enhancing public transportation in mass transport basis, along with the optimise of colleges and aid agencies to develop human resource capacity
