<![CDATA[Road damage on K.H. Zaenal Arifin Cikulak–Cibogo, characterized by potholes, crocodile cracks, and flooding, disrupts traffic and safety and is exacerbated by heavy vehicle loads and poor maintenance. This study analyzes damage factors (vehicle load, traffic volume) and assesses pavement conditions to recommend repair methods. A quantitative approach with field surveys, visual documentation, and PCI analysis was employed, supported by traffic volume conversion to passenger car units (smp) and ESAL calculations. The PCI score of 42 ("fair") reflected significant damage, with ESAL values indicating excessive axle loads (407,188). The key contributors were peak traffic (1,971 vehicles/hour) and inadequate pavement thickness. The study advocates for immediate repairs (e.g., patching, 7 cm overlay) and policy interventions to regulate vehicle loads. Future research should integrate sustainable materials and dynamic load modeling.]]>
