<![CDATA[The development of road infrastructure is essential to support regional economic activities and improve accessibility, particularly in agricultural areas such as Karo Regency. This study aims to evaluate flexible pavement design for the Kutabangun–Kutakendit road section at STA 0+000 to STA 2+000 in Pola Tebu Village by applying and comparing the AASHTO 1993 method and the 2017 Revised Highways Pavement Design Manual. The analysis focuses on determining the appropriate pavement layer thickness to ensure structural performance and durability under traffic loads. The results indicate that the 2017 Revised Highways method produces a surface layer thickness of 100 mm, a base layer of 400 mm, and an embankment thickness of 175 mm, while the AASHTO 1993 method results in a surface layer thickness of 110 mm, a base layer of 230 mm, a subbase layer of 260 mm, and an embankment thickness of 100 mm. The comparison shows differences in structural composition and layer distribution between the two methods, which can be used as a technical reference in selecting an efficient and reliable pavement design to support long-term road performance and regional development.]]>
