Data collection was taken in Tangerang and Bandung. The data was taken by the surveyor by using traffic counter eqquipment to collect traffic volume data and speed gun eqquipment to collect travel speed data. The analysis showed that motorcycles box without red marking area was less successful. It was caused by blocked motorcycles access by four wheels vehicles. Most of car driver did not realize there is special area for motorcycles. Consequently motorcycles could not enter the motorcycles box area. Motorcycles box occupancy to the capacity at the motorcycles box without red marking by 13.61% to 43.17%. Meanwhile motorcycles box with red marking are more successful by 56.42% to 70.69% of occupancy rate.
