Abstract

This increase in transportation facilities causes the traffic volume of a road to be greater but is not supported by adequate road infrastructure, one of which is parking facilities. Parking is a phenomenon that affects the movement of vehicles when vehicles that have such a high intensity will be hampered by vehicles parked on the road, causing congestion. Vehicles parked on the roadside are generally around places or activity centres such as offices, markets, schools, and restaurants. Maximum vehicle volume without on-street parking occurs in segment 1 on Monday at 16:30, with the number of vehicles amounting to 2154.3 SMP/hour with a capacity value (C) = 2375 SMP/hour; the degree of saturation value (DS) is obtained. =0.91. This shows that the level of service is included in category E, which means that segment 1 has unstable flow, decreased speed, and vehicle motion is approaching capacity. When parking occurs on the road, the capacity value decreases to (C) = 1243.01 SMP/hour so that it affects the degree of saturation in each segment with the respective DS values: Segment 1 = 1.73, segment 2 = 1.44, segment 3 = 1.40. The flow becomes blocked or obstructed, and the vehicle speed is < 50 km/hour. As a result of vehicles parked on the road, the capacity of the road is reduced so that it has an impact on the movement of traffic flow, and eventually, congestion occurs
