Abstract

The Canggu Highway area is a major access route to the Canggu tourism destination in Badung Regency, Bali, where increasing tourism activities have intensified traffic movements and contributed to congestion, travel delays, and economic losses. This study aims to evaluate existing road network performance, develop traffic management and engineering strategies, estimate congestion costs, and assess potential performance improvements through simulation. The study covers nine road segments and three intersections in the Canggu Highway area. Traffic performance was analyzed using PTV Vissim microsimulation, with reference to the 2023 Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI), while congestion costs were estimated using the Tzedakis method, which considers travel time values and vehicle operating costs. Under existing weekday afternoon peak-hour conditions, the network exhibited an average delay of 134.18 seconds per vehicle and an average speed of 12.13 km/h. The proposed strategies comprise traffic signal coordination at the Kayu Tulang and Batu Bolong intersections, priority management at the Men Lari intersection, and improvements to pedestrian facilities. Simulation results indicate that these measures could reduce average delay to 99.37 seconds per vehicle and increase average network speed to 14.50 km/h. Estimated congestion costs could also decrease from IDR 3,965,472.11 per hour to IDR 2,636,383.25 per hour, representing a reduction of approximately 33.5%. These findings suggest that coordinated traffic control and improved pedestrian facilities have the potential to enhance modeled network performance and reduce congestion-related economic losses. The results can support local authorities in comparing and prioritizing traffic management interventions for the Canggu tourism area. However, field implementation and validation are required to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strategies under actual traffic conditions. The findings also provide a basis for further evaluation of traffic management alternatives under different traffic demand conditions
