It aims to safety and security of road construction loads. This study analyzes the role and operational functions of UPPKB on the characteristics of the movement of cargo transport traffic detected through the UPPKB Maccopa and analyze violations of over dimension and overloading and its handling efforts. The research method used is descriptive qualitative comparative and qualitative descriptive. The results of the study showed that the roles and functions of the UPPKB Maccopa were not optimal in carrying out supervision, recording and prosecuting violations of cargo transportation. Operational facilities are still far away and operational standards such as the lack of parking spaces, there are still law enforcement and circulation roads, lack of capacity and competence of Human Resources, especially CSI, Examiners and mastery of information technology, operations management has not been well organized. Over dimension violations amounted to 56.7%, and overloading was 64.63%, the majority of which were carried out in class IV vehicles.

INTRODUCTION Traffic is the activity of passing vehicles, people or animals on the road. The case that needs to be considered in traffic engineering is the balance between the capacity of the road network and the number of vehicles and people using the road (Warpani, 2002). As an impact of the economic growth of a region which is supported by infrastructure and means of transportation. To create an efficient and reliable transportation system, control and supervision are needed (Atiya et.al, 2014). Overloading the cargo transportation is a complication of various kinds of problems, including the network across cargo transportation is not optimal. The location of the Motor Vehicle Weighing Unit (UPPKB) is not strategic, the UPPKB human resources (HR) and other qualifications. Any one party even by the Government cannot resolve the problem in question, even though the Government has a key role in solving the problem of logistic transportation. The progress of industrial technology that produces cargo transport products is demand that is transported by large truck vehicles beyond the carrying capacity of the road so as to accelerate road damage. Consideration of increasing operational cost efficiency and tight business competition spurred logistic transport entrepreneurs to overloading logistic transport strategies despite violating regulations. For owners, this is done to reduce distribution costs, so the price of goods remains competitive. According to Lookman (2018: 2), the paradigm of the excess dimensions of vehicles that result in overloading of cargo carrying capacity began to become a habit during the economic crisis after the 1998 reforms, causing resistance when the Government imposed regulations dealing with violations of over dimension and overloading (ODOL). Entrepreneurial resistance is a challenge from the issue of rising cargo prices, inflation, social and environmental impacts such as traffic congestion, travel time, logistic distribution costs and their impact on road damage so that the cost of road repairs is increasing (Uly, 2018).
