Abstract

Traffic congestion has become an increasingly complex and pressing global problem. Rapid population growth, rapid urbanization, and increasing private vehicle ownership have greatly increased traffic volumes in a number of cities in various parts of the world. This study aims to determine problems related to road density and congestion in the context of infrastructure development and urbanization. This paper discusses the problem of road density. The Ligung highway is usually busy during rush hours, which often occurs in the morning and also in the afternoon. This situation is caused by the working hours of factory employees and children going to school in the morning and returning home at the same time in the afternoon. The location of this research is in Ligung, which is on Jalan Raya Ligung which will lead to the Jatiwangi-Kadipaten road ± 1000 meters. This writing focuses on speed and density analysis to help determine the average vehicle speed and average vehicle density. Apart from using qualitative methods, field observations were also carried out to determine and detect the volume of highways, vehicles passing, and the speed of vehicles passing, how congested the highway was. Ligung. Primary data consists of the number of vehicles passing, Microsoft Excel 2021 and Traffic Counter software. Secondary data is MKJI 1997. For data, the highway section consists of a road through two opposing traffic lanes (2/2 UD). The level of congestion and density of traffic conditions on the surveyed roads are also displayed using speed and density data. To obtain information on traffic density and road performance in the area, these parameters must be observed and analyzed further.

Abstract

Street lighting is installed along roads so people can see better at night. To increase road safety and lower accident rates, international organizations like the WHO have underlined the significance of adequate infrastructure, such as street lighting. As part of their efforts to reduce the number of traffic accidents across the country, the government and authorities are paying special attention to the lack of street lighting. The lighting conditions on the road connecting Jatiwangi with Majalengka city, specifically the Tonjong roundabout, still require maximum street lighting. Tonjong Roundabout is located in Majalengka Regency, which connects the Jatiwangi road section with the city of Majalengka. The questionnaire approach is the research methodology employed in this study. Crime rates and injuries from accidents increase due to a lack of street lighting, especially in developing countries, where investment in infrastructure is often limited. In some places, rapid urban growth is not matched by adequate infrastructure development, including sound lighting systems. A comprehensive evaluation of street lighting conditions at the local level will allow for implementing more targeted solutions that improve safety and comfort for all who use the roads. The study's findings indicated that street lighting had an average relevance rating of 1.34. Nonetheless, the average level of satisfaction with street illumination was 2.55; the difference between importance and satisfaction was -1.21. Up to 95% of respondents then anticipate that street lighting will be improved for increased driving safety.
