<![CDATA[Good road pavement conditions are very important in supporting smooth transportation, driving comfort, and road user safety. "A decline in road pavement quality caused by structural and functional damage can disrupt traffic flow and increase maintenance costs. This study aims to identify and classify the level of pavement damage on road sections in Palembang City using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. This method was chosen because it can provide a quantitative assessment based on the type and severity of damage. Data collection was conducted through field surveys by recording the types of damage, such as potholes, rutting, raveling, and patching. The investigation showed that potholes were the most dominant type of damage, with an average PCI rating of 84.25, which is categorized as Very Good. However, some sections of the road were below standard, especially those between STA 0+200 and 0+300, requiring routine repairs. Most of the road was still in good condition. Monitoring and routine repairs are essential to prevent further damage. This can serve as a reference for developing a more accurate, effective, and efficient road maintenance program.]]>
