<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of local government responsibility for damaged roads in Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency, to analyze the obstacles in the implementation of local government responsibility for damaged roads in Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency, and to analyze efforts to overcome obstacles in the implementation of local government responsibility for damaged roads in Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency. The method used is sociological legal research. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the implementation of local government responsibility for damaged roads in Tapung Hulu District, Kampar Regency has not been running optimally because there are still road sections that have been damaged for a relatively long time, thus affecting the safety of road users, the smooth mobility of the community, and economic activities. This condition indicates that the implementation of local government obligations has not fully met the principles of implementing safe, secure, sustainable roads and providing quality public services as mandated by laws and regulations. The obstacles are: First, limited regional financial capacity causes the budget for road maintenance and improvement to not be able to meet all the needs for road infrastructure development. Second, the weak road monitoring and maintenance system causes minor damage not to be immediately addressed so that it develops into severe damage that requires greater rehabilitation costs. Third, the less than optimal implementation of criminal liability against road operators who neglect to carry out their obligations as stipulated in Article 24 and Article 273 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, so that the preventive function of criminal law has not provided a deterrent effect in increasing compliance of road operators with their legal obligations.]]>
