ROAD PERFORMANCE OF THE TAMAN - WARU, SIDOARJO ROAD SEGMENT BASED ON MKJI 1997
Indonesia, as the one of the developing country, still have many problems in the field oftransportation that have not been resolved properly. Identification of indication of trafficflow needs to be done before determine the best solution to resolve the problems. The mainobjective of this research is to analyse the road performance based on the parametercontained in the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) 1997. The observation area isthe Taman - Waru Road segment located in the Regency Sidoarjo with a total segmentlength of 480 meters. The road segment is bounded by a monument of the Geluran-KletekKelurahan and U-turn. Primary data collection in the form of traffic volume and averagespeed of vehicles carried out for four days at 06.00 AM until 10.00 PM. The parametersused to analyse the road performance is capacity of road, degree of saturation, and levelsof service. Based on the analysis result, the performance of the Taman-Waru road segmentis in poor condition with the value of degree of saturation is 1,25 and levels of service is E.So, it would require the traffic management to decrease the value of degree of saturation inorder to increase the road performance.Keywods: Degree of Saturation, Levels of Service, Road Performance
