Tambun market is a commercial area located at T-Junction, an area with mixed land uses. Land use in this area consists of settlement, commuter line stations, offices, factories, and a historic building (Gedung Juang) which is a tourist destination. Trade activities, loading goods, unloading goods, public transport passengers, on-street parking, and traffic conflict between vehicles and pedestrian in this area influence the road traffic. It causes the bottleneck up to congestion at Tambun Market area. The level-crossing at the commuter line station become one of the causes of congestion.

In fact, the construction of underpasses does not solve the problems. The purpose of this research is to propose transportation management in the Tambun market area. The problem is analyzed based on the principles of traffic engineering. There are include some points such as accessibility planning, movement of people, goods and vehicles, pedestrian facilities, and parking areas. The analysis is using the principle of connectivity, accessibility, comfort, and safety. The results are the improvement of pedestrian facilities, design of public parking area, loading and unloading management, improvement road performance for Volume and Capacity Ratio (v/c ratio), traffic flow and accessibility planning, where it could be improvement of connectivity, accessibility, and traffic safety.
