Abstract

This research aims to understand the perceptions of pedestrians and motorcycle users regarding sidewalk usage by street vendors along Jalan Menteri Supeno, Tegal City. This road is an important route connecting public facilities such as schools and community service centers. The study employed a quantitative approach using questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents (65 pedestrians and 35 motorcycle users) selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results show that 93.2% of pedestrians and 80.6% of motorcycle users agree or strongly agree that the presence of street vendors on sidewalks disrupts their comfort, safety, and mobility. Pedestrians experience limited movement space and must share the road with motorized vehicles, while motorcycle users are hindered by slowed traffic flow. These findings imply the need for better management and oversight of sidewalk usage to restore its primary function as a safe and comfortable pedestrian path, while supporting smooth traffic flow.
