Models of calculation use a method approach of LAPI ITB, MHS resulted from World Bank study in Indonesia and study approach of IHCM. The results from this research are: 1) the degree of saturation of traffic flow at peak activity is 0.89, which means "unstable flow, low speed and different, as well as volume approaches capacity”; 2) The occurrence of congestion on the roads has caused a charge of USD 638.82 per vehicle (SMP) per km of travel.
