Road Infrastructure Completeness Factors on Road Section Performance

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between the completeness of road infrastructure and the degree of saturation. The phenomenon of a road segment includes frequent traffic jams with a very high degree of saturation. Based on this, this research is important to examine the effect of completeness of road infrastructure on the degree of saturation and performance of roads using the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual method. Based on observations, it is known that most of the roads in Indonesia do not have complete road infrastructure. The results of the analysis show that the completeness of road infrastructure greatly affects the degree of saturation. The saturation level will be higher if the average daily traffic has reached basic capacity without complete road infrastructure. But does not affect if the average daily traffic is still low. Side obstacles such as parking on the shoulder of the road, street vendors, and road damage are factors that greatly affect the degree of saturation. Therefore, it is necessary to prioritize the completeness of road infrastructure, and road maintenance to be free from side obstacles, especially on a road that has a high average daily traffic flow. Roads that have an average daily traffic flow that exceeds the basic capacity, need traffic engineering and install signs to divert the flow to other lanes.
