This study examines legal and policy gaps in managing unprotected railway level crossings amid increasing train frequency and rising road traffic in Indonesia. It aims to assess risk exposure and clarify institutional responsibility, contributing a legal-risk integration framework. Using a mixed-method approach, the study analyzes statutory regulations, accident data, and field observations across selected crossings, with interviews of stakeholders conducted over a six-month period. Key variables include train frequency, traffic volume, safety infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. Findings reveal a significant gap between legal norms and on-ground implementation, resulting in systemic safety risks. The study recommends regulatory reinforcement, clear allocation of authority, and technology based safety interventions to reduce accidents and improve public protection.
