PT Kereta Api Indonesia railway safety measures

Overview

PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) has initiated measures to improve safety at railway level crossings following accidents and identified risks.

In Kediri, East Java, KAI permanently sealed an unregistered crossing on the Kras–Ngadiluwih road after a commuter train collided with a motorcycle at the site. The closure involved local police, military, and village government officials using rail and iron-pad barriers.

Expanding these efforts, KAI Daop 3 closed another illegal crossing in Cirebon that lacked safety signage and guards. Additionally, in West Sumatra, KAI clarified legal responsibilities regarding road maintenance at intersections, noting that while road administrators are responsible for repairs based on road status, KAI remains responsible for damage directly caused by railway work.
