CLOCK AND LEVEL OF FEASIBILITY OF CIHAMPELAS ROAD, BANDUNG CITY

Abstract

Jalan Cihampelas, Bandung city was originally one of the roads that connected the northern area of Bandung city or the Lembang sub-district city to the center of Bandung city. Initially, the area on the right and left of the road was an area used as a residence. The development of the area to the right and left of the road has changed its function to become a commercial area, the change in function can be seen in the presence of malls, offices, pools, travel, hotels, restaurants, shops public areas with the construction of shopping and culinary areas on the road called Teras Cihampelas. With all this increased activity, congestion often occurs which is caused by, among other things, the wide capacity of the road which cannot accommodate the increasing number of vehicles passing through it and the queues of vehicles that will park and the disorder of public vehicles picking up and dropping off passengers. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of the Cihampelas road with the development of the surrounding area, using the data observation method and testing the level of traffic service on the Cihampelas road. From the results of this study, it can be said that the Cihampelas road in the city of Bandung is not prepared to become a road with a large commercial area and is no longer suitable as a connecting road between cities or sub-city areas.
