Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2021 concerning Provincial Road Administration serves as a comprehensive legal framework governing the management, authority, and responsibilities of provincial governments in road infrastructure administration. This article aims to analyze the substance and normative implications of the regulation in relation to the effectiveness of road development and maintenance at the provincial level. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, complemented by empirical analysis through case studies on policy implementation across several provincial administrative areas. The findings indicate that Regional Regulation Nomor 12 of 2021 strengthens the role of provincial governments in planning, constructing, and supervising provincial roads by emphasizing public participation, environmental sustainability, and budgetary efficiency. Nevertheless, challenges remain in its implementation, particularly concerning the synchronization of authority between government levels and the limited technical capacity of local institutions. This article recommends enhancing cross-sectoral coordination and updating performance evaluation mechanisms to ensure the realization of equitable and sustainable infrastructure development goals.
