Abstract

The urbanest areas are suffering from unmaintained externalities such as excessive travel time, unnecessary fuel consumption and even serious economic loss due extraordinary growth in automobile traffic (i.e. motorcycle and car), and as consequence of automobile ownership and usage have continued rapid growth into recent days including in Banda Aceh, a capital of Aceh Province. An increasing of automobile usage leads to induce traffic congestion in the city centers including in Surabaya intersection. To counter the negative effects of the congestion, the Government of Aceh (GoA) decided to build a flyover at the congested intersection mentioned above. However, during the construction period, traffic congestion is severe along this corridor, and traffic is randomly distributed to the road network in surrounding construction site without any traffic arrangement by the authority. It is, therefore, this research aims to analyze the traffic impact due to flyover’s construction. The study was conducted at three corridors which are considered as the most congested corridors due to exiting of bottleneck traffic. Those corridors are Teuku Muhammad Hasan Rd., Prof Ali Hasyimi Rd., Tgk. Imum Lueng Bata Rd. The findings from the analysis revealed that the traffic loading has increased accounting up to 34% and 37% for Teuku Muhammad Hasan Rd. and Prof. Ali Hasyimi Rd., respectively. Furthermore, the results of the level of service (LOS) analyses show that dropped in LOS from B to C during the construction period for Teuku Muhammad Hasan Rd. and Prof. Ali Hasyimi Rd.The urbanest areas are suffering from unmaintained externalities such as excessive travel time, unnecessary fuel consumption and even serious economic loss due extraordinary growth in automobile traffic (i.e. motorcycle and car), and as consequence of automobile ownership and usage have continued rapid growth into recent days including in Banda Aceh, a capital of Aceh Province.
