Abstract (2. Language): 
Bad weather is one of the factors that cause traffic accidents. Accidents happen because visibility decreases when bad weather occurs. In order to prevent accidents, roads need to be installed traffic signs. One type of traffic sign is a Variable Speed Limit (VSL). In this study, the relationship between driver compliance and VSL (when driver's visibility is reduced) is measured and analyzed. Primary data was collected by filling out a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1-5. The total respondents in this study are 130 people who have passed the Banyumanik-Bawen toll road. Primary data in this research is analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The first result, human factor and VSL satisfaction are significant to driver compliance during any weather conditions. The second result, driver compliance during fog or mild rainy weather conditions, is only influenced by human factors. In conclusion, when bad weather conditions human factors and satisfaction with VSL together affect driver compliance.
