The Effect of On-Street Parking Road Performance (Case Study on Jenderal Sudirman Road, Samarinda City at STA 0+400 up to STA 0+600)

As time goes by, the increase in population results in increased movement of people, goods, and services. This is related to movement which cannot be separated from the system that supports transportation movements. Congestion is a condition where the traffic flow passing on a road section exceeds the planned capacity of the road, resulting in the free speed of the road section approaching 0 km/hour, causing queues. The phenomenon of traffic jams is an interesting thing to study. The research aims to analyze the impact of parking activities on traffic performance and to determine alternative efforts to control parking on roads around Jalan Jendral Sudirman, Samarinda City at STA 0+400 to STA 0+600.The variables in the research consist of: parking activity, side obstacles, traffic volume, road capacity, traffic density, and road service level. Data analysis was carried out both quantitatively in the form of analysis of parking and traffic characteristics, as well as qualitative analysis of physical conditions (parking conditions) and land use in the Jenderal Sudirman road corridor. The research results show that Jalan Jenderal Sudirman has a ratio to road capacity or degree of saturation below 1, which is at 0.90 on both Saturday and Sunday, which means that the traffic flow is dense, the speed is unstable, sometimes it stops, demand is approaching capacity, and the speed at the research location is lower than 40 Km/hour. Operation speed begins to be limited by other vehicles and obstacles begin to be felt by surrounding vehicles, this is due to the influence of side obstacles and use of the surrounding land.
