The four-arm intersection that connects Jalan Macan Lindungan, Parameswara, Soekarno Hatta and Jalan Prawiranegara, is an intersection that requires an evaluation of traffic management, especially in regulating flow and traffic lights. The purpose of this research is to find out whether the current regulation of traffic and traffic lights can still be used or not. This type of research is in the form of quantitative descriptive with data collection methods with direct data collection in the field for 7 days, especially during peak hours. The data needed are road geometry, traffic volume for each vehicle composition based on its direction (straight, turn left, and turn right), side barriers, speed and queue length. The implementation procedure refers to the 1997 HCM and other supporting references. From the results of data processing obtained, it can be concluded that there is a need for a traffic light arrangement design and flow diversion. This is because the number of vehicles passing through the intersection exceeds the capacity, causing congestion and long delays, especially during peak hours.
