Abstract

Carbon monoxide is the result of the combustion of motorized vehicles which can pollute the air and will cause negative impacts to the health of human beings. The development of a toll road is initiated in the routes of an arterial road which have been causing congestion or terrible traffic jams, and is expected directly to reduce the amount of traffic jams and to increase the speed of travel, and indirectly to reduce air pollution in the arterial roads. The objective of this paper is to predict the effects of the Medan-Stabat Toll Road operation to the CO pollutant contents in the arterial roads. The results indicate that the level of pollution is reduced up to 10 % and 25% due to traffic shifting on the arterial roads to the toll road.
