Abstract

Intersections are a part of the road that becomes the center of conflict points from various directions of traffic flow. The Demang Lebar Daun intersection is a meeting of four roads that have different geometric conditions. At the observation location, traffic flow conditions during peak hours cause long queues of vehicles that cause congestion. This research aims to evaluate the level of service at the intersection location. Data collection is carried out by making initial measurements in the form of geometric data and cycle time. Traffic flow volume data is taken for three days, namely two weekdays and one weekend from 07.00 to 18.00 local time. In this research, the analysis of intersection performance will be compared both in existing and design conditions, referring to MKJI 1997. Based on the analysis, the level of service for the referred method is in E (Webster) and D (MKJI). This service category needs to be improved so the quality of traffic movement is relatively stable in speed. The brief alternative solutions that are recommended by this research are speeding up the red light and slowing down the green light in traffic light management, as well as the parking prohibition on the side of the road at least 50 m from the intersection by installing the traffic sign.
