Analysis of the data which is used are the Summary of Traffic Volume, Volume Peak Hour Traffic, Highway Capacity Analysis, Traffic Growth, Calculation of Pavement Thickness. The results of the study explained that the capacity of the vehicle on roads this time is at 1450 pcu/h, the degree of saturation of 0.3 into the current level of service B that is stable, high capacity most vehicles via this road for 378 pcu/hour. From these results, the road quite smoothly enough so that it can be concluded that the vehicles passing dominated by heavy vehicles with a load of overload which caused damage to the road and the re-layer thickness of 11 cm.
