Abstract

Many infrastructures are involved in the development of the construction industry and will have positive and negative impacts, one of which is road construction. Besides to road construction, the negative impact of implementing traffic management on road users can reduce the efficiency of the operation of transportation infrastructure. Basically, risk is the threat of danger or consequences that can occur as a result of an ongoing process or an upcoming event. When viewed from this perspective, it is important for transportation planners and traffic management to find ways to identify situations, and develop actions to reduce or avoid negative risks. Traffic smoothness and safety is the dream of every road user in his daily life. The purpose of this research is to get a negative impact, the priority that must be done and the level of satisfaction of road users based on the applied traffic management. The data were obtained by conducting an online survey of respondents in cities in Indonesia that experienced traffic management changes. The results of data analysis, 64% of respondents considered that the implementation of traffic management had an impact. There are several traffic management that have a negative impact, including the application of one-way roads, the application of odd-even, setting traffic lights at road intersections, the 3 in 1 policy, special bus lanes, road diversion, and turning. far away, and others. The order of priority that must be considered in traffic management is speed, safety, regularity, density, air pollution, socio-economic conditions and others. Dominant road users (61%) feel less and dissatisfied with the implementation of traffic management implemented by the government. The correlation of the impact of traffic management applied to road users, has a more negative impact on characteristic of occupation and age than on gender. This becomes the basis for conducting further research in determining the points that become traffic variables to carry out a risk analysis before traffic management is applied, so as to minimize any negative impacts that may arise. © 2023 Author(s).
