advanced. Among them is the development of transport in the urban world. But
along with the progress turns out to various problems that may arise unforeseen.
Rampant problem today is the problem of traffic congestion has been devastating
The problem of traffic congestion transport is often the case in urban areas in
urban diarea. So it is not surprising that urban areas often occur because of the
goes by congestion conditions that occur in urban areas are not getting better, but
and is not offset by the expansion of the highway area. Especially in urban areas
found many street vendors hawking wares on the roadside which of course it will
increase the volume of highway congestion. Due to their selling alongside the
road, it will be many motorists stopped to buy goods to street vendors. So that it
would interfere with the smooth traffic. Besides the five-foot sword roadside
selling can also interfere with the pedestrians. There are many losses that will be
incurred when there is congestion on the highway. One of them is the fuel that
must be wasted on the highway. Vehicle that runs slowly going to spend a lot of
wasted fuel. In addition to the loss of fuel wasted there will also be a loss of time.

traffic caused by the large number of vehicles exceeding the capacity of the road.
Congestion occurs in many large cities, especially who do not have good public

number of vehicles available. Figures from the growing number of vehicles and
road capacity are still causing buildup julah highway vehicles in the net.
of vehicles and people in the road traffic, was space is a road traffic infrastructure
that is intended for motion moving vehicles, people, and or goods in the form of
street and support facilities. In this case, the link between the space vehicle and
the road traffic is an entity whose existence is always side by side. In this case the
government has a goal to achieve traffic and road transport are safe, secure, fast,
laws and regulations concerning traffic direction, priorities using the roads, traffic
lanes, and traffic flow control at the intersection. In this connection the actual role

of government in regulating the traffic is optimal. However, because of the
growing number of road users over time, is certainly a liability for the government
perform daily activities. In developed countries, they typically use the subway and
taxis. Residents there have rarely personal vehicles because they mostly use
the delivery of services to the local environment. City is not defined as a service
center. In this view, one can say if the urban area is the service provider for the
areas around it. If it is pulled towards the problems of traffic congestion there.
You could say the urban density occurs because cities provide implementation
services for the areas around it. Congestion that occurs in urban areas is the result
of stacking of vehicles around urban areas which hold activities in urban areas.

DISCUSSION
In this discussion section will discuss the causes of traffic congestion existing
know the cause why it could happen. In addition, investigating on how to cope
with traffic congestion transport also needs to be done to find a solution to the
urban areas. In fact it has become a serious problem of urban region. Because of
congestion always provide significant losses for the country. The problem of
government policies have done but in fact can not overcome congestion. This is
because awareness for motorists who are still not aware of the use of the road as a
is also very necessary. But again, because the public transportation is still far from
sufficient to make the vehicle more users choose to use private vehicles. Of course

3.2 Occurrence Causes Traffic Congestion Transport traffic congestion is a
common
problem in urban areas. Many factors that cause why the traffic congestion
transport can occur. The factors that cause traffic congestion include:
1. The presence of the number of vehicles that exceed the capacity of the
road. This is often a problem in urban areas. Traffic jams occur because in
capacity of the existing roads in the city could not accommodate all the
