ABSTRACT

Efficient and safe intersections are an important aspect of traffic management in urban areas. An unsignalized intersection is one of the most common types of intersections. This study aims to analyze the performance of road junctions at unsignalized intersections on Jalan Karang Tengah Lodaya-Simpang Nagrak, Cibadak-Sukabumi. The data collection method was carried out through field surveys by observing traffic at intersections for 3 days on Monday April 3 2023, Wednesday April 5 2023, and Sunday April 9 2023. Parameters observed included delay time, average speed, density level, and accident rate. The collected data was analyzed according to the MKJI 1997 guidelines for calculating capacity and delay at intersections. The results of capacity analysis are used to assess the level of traffic service at this intersection, which is then classified into different levels of service (LOS). Optimal. High delay times occur during peak hours, namely at 07:00 – 08:00 (morning), and 16:00 – 18:00 (afternoon). This results in traffic congestion and affects the average speed of vehicles. The level of density also exceeds the optimal capacity of the intersection, which can result in traffic congestion and disruption. Based on the results of this analysis, it is suggested to do repairs at the intersection. Improvements that can be made include widening the road, changing the geometry of intersections, and setting vehicle priorities. By carrying out these improvements, it is expected that the performance of the road junction can be improved, reducing delay time, increasing the average speed, and reducing the risk of accidents. This research makes an important contribution to the development of transportation systems and traffic management in urban areas. It is hoped that the results of this research can become a reference for local governments in planning the improvement and development of more efficient and safe intersections.
