Traffic violations are a common problem in society and can cause various negative impacts, such as traffic accidents, congestion, and disruption of order and safety of road users. The high number of traffic violations indicates that public legal awareness in traffic is still relatively low. In order to create security, safety, order, and smooth traffic, the government has established Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation as the legal basis for regulating and taking action against traffic violations. This study aims to determine the implementation of Law Number 22 of 2009 by the Padangsidimpuan Police Traffic Unit in taking action against traffic violations and to analyze the legal and social obstacles in its implementation in Padangsidimpuan City. The research method used is empirical legal research with a sociological juridical approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and literature studies which were then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Law Number 22 of 2009 by the Padangsidimpuan Police Traffic Unit is carried out through preventive and repressive efforts. Preventive efforts are carried out through outreach, traffic education, and the implementation of traffic safety operations, while repressive efforts are carried out through enforcement in the form of tickets, warnings, and law enforcement against traffic violations. However, in its implementation, various obstacles are still encountered, both legal and social obstacles. These obstacles include low public legal awareness, lack of compliance by road users with traffic regulations, limited facilities and infrastructure, and minimal public participation in supporting the creation of a culture of orderly traffic. Therefore, it is necessary to increase synergy between the police, local government, and the community to increase legal awareness and the effectiveness of traffic law enforcement in Padangsidimpuan City.
