The purpose of quantitative research is to develop and use mathematical models, theories and hypotheses related to natural phenomena. The data needed include primary data (road geometric data, traffic volume data, vehicle speed data, side barriers data) and secondary data (map of research location, population data). From the results of the calculation and analysis of the road segment in December 2021, the traffic flow value (Q) = 875 pcu/hour, capacity value (C) = 1617.61 pcu/hour, degree of saturation (DS) = 0,54, free flow speed (FV) = 43,69 km/hour, and the level of service (Level Of Service/LOS) is categorized as level B.
