Traffic Performance Analysis and Pedestrian Facilities in Green Palm Samarinda Housing

Abstract

The growth of residential areas in big cities like Samarinda requires an evaluation of traffic performance and the provision of adequate pedestrian facilities to support community mobility. This study aims to analyze the performance of unsignalized intersections in front of the gate of Green Palm Samarinda Housing and to examine the need for pedestrian facilities based on the level of pedestrian movement. The research method used is a quantitative and descriptive approach by utilizing field surveys and data analysis according to the 2023 Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI). The results of the analysis show that the capacity of unsignalized intersections is 2,458 pcu/hour with a degree of saturation of 0.40, indicating that traffic conditions are still at the level of service (LOS) A. The average intersection delay was recorded at 7.96 seconds/pcu, and the chance of queues ranged from 8-19%. Meanwhile, the highest pedestrian volume is only 10 people/hour, so the need for sidewalk width is in the low category. These findings indicate that while traffic is still under control, long-term planning for the integration of multimodal transportation and pedestrian facilities is still needed to support sustainable regional growth.
