Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a case study at the Bengkong red light intersection, Batam City. The analysis was carried out using The Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual-1997. Findings: Traffic management and engineering must be implemented gradually to get a suitable implementation model. Actual conditions in the field become essential in determining the right choice of traffic management and engineering. Research limitations/implications: Traffic management and engineering analyzes were conducted locally at the case study site. Practical implications: The analysis of traffic management reduces traffic congestion's impact. Originality/value: Original paper Paper type: A case study
