Abstract In the context of transportation, sustainable
development aims to create transportation systems that are
efficient, environmentally friendly, and minimize negative
impacts, including exhaust emissions and traffic noise. The
same situation occurs on the local primary road, Indonesia.
The aim of the research is to determine the value of
emission prediction and noise level, and the relationship
between vehicle type proportions to the prediction of
emissions and noise levels on a 2-way and 2-lane
undivided primary local road with mixed land use and
mixed traffic. Primary data collection was conducted for 4
days. The guidelines used in this analysis are based on the
Noise Level Prediction reference, Ministry of Public
Works, Indonesia in 2004 and the 2010 Environmental
Guidelines, Indonesia. The findings of study are that total
vehicle emissions were 148,880 tons/hour, and the 1-hour
noise level exceeded the standard noise quality threshold
for commercial and public facility areas. Predictions of
emissions and PNL increase along with the increase of
number of traffic flow and the proportion of vehicle types
that dominate the traffic. Conversely, the proportion of
non-motorized vehicle, heavy vehicles, and light vehicle,
as well as the space mean speed, has a negative impact on
the prediction of emissions and PNL.

1. Introduction
The impacts and concerns regarding global warming
have increased over the past few decades. In the context of
transportation, sustainable development aims to create
transportation systems that are efficient, environmentally
friendly, and minimize negative impacts, including exhaust
emissions and traffic noise. Recently, activities of
transportation generate three-quarter of total
environmental CO
2
emissions. With unprecedented urban
development, growth in car usage, road networks, road
traffic noise has become an environmental problem. The
noise caused by traffic not only disturbs traffic users but
also residents in buildings around the road [1]. A 30%
reduction in exposure to noise pollution from
transportation activities by 2030 is the action plan for
realization of a city without pollution [2].
Barombong Road is a road with mixed land use.
Commercial and service activities are evident here. The
traffic conditions on this section are heterogeneous, with
pedestrian activity utilizing the road shoulders for walking
and crossing directly on the road. This road is also one of
the routes for trucks distributing building materials and
logistics. Buses are frequently seen in this area because it is
a route to the Barombong tourist area. Motorcycles are the
dominant mode of transportation chosen by the community
every day. The traffic activity on this road causes noise and
emission problems. The motivation of research is that there
is still a lack of research examining the prediction of
emissions and noise on 2/2 undivided primary local roads
