The Palembang-Jambi National road is located in the Musi Banyuasin Regency. The road section has a primary arterial function with a design speed of 60 km/hour. The Palembang-Jambi National road is a Sumatran highway that connects islands between provinces in Sumatra and Java. With such conditions, traffic problems arise in the form of traffic accidents. Therefore, to overcome these traffic problems, an analysis is needed to overcome these problems.The analytical method used in this research the macro analysis and microanalysis. Macro analysis was carried out to determine the general characteristics of accidents, and the tendency of traffic accidents to occur on the Palembang-Jambi KM 212 road section. Macro analysis used simple numerical analysis, namely analysis of the time of the accident, analysis based on the month of occurrence, analysis of accident victims, and analysis of the type of accident. The microanalysis consists of several analyzes consisting analysis based on accident chronology data, analysis of factors causing accidents, analysis of instantaneous speed, and analysis of stopping visibility. After doing this analysis, it can be concluded that the factors that cause accidents that often occur at KM 212 Palembang - Jambi National Road are infrastructure factors and human factors. The infrastructure factor is the main factor in the accidents that occur. So that this research is needed to overcome these problems such as additions, replacements, and maintenance of road equipment facilities to technical requirements.With this handling, it is to reduce the fatalities of crash severity and reduce the number of a traffiaccidentsnt on KM 212 the Palembang-Jambi National Road, Musi Banyuasin District.
