Abstract :
Congestion that occurs in the city of Palembang is caused by several factors, one of which is the existence of a median opening to make a U-Turn. Placement of the location of the median opening becomes a very important factor in planning, so there is no buildup of vehicles or congestion on the road that will be made a median opening. As happened in Jalan Kol. H Burlian precisely in front of the Detachment of Military Police II / 4 Palembang City which is prone to traffic jams due to many drivers making a U-turn. Both from the flyover direction to KM 12 and KM 12 to Flyover.
U-turn in the Colonel H. Burlian street in front of the Palembang Military Police Detachment II / 4. Traffic jams often occur due to several factors, one of the factors causing traffic congestion is the opening of the median there. Normally, U-Turn is not permitted from a continuous lane. However, a median that has a wide covering to protect vehicles standing inside the median opening can be permitted.
Based on the analysis of several calculations, there were several alternatives, including a median in a circle, partial U-Turn closure south to south during rush hour, U-Turn location transfer and U-Turn closure. From these alternatives, variation II is the most effective way to overcome congestion at the study site based on a decrease in the queue ratio of 43.35%.
