The four feeder roads connecting Tulungagung with the Sine–Molang Southern Cross Road have different pavement and distress characteristics. This study describes the surface conditions through visual observation, basic geometric measurements, documentation, and pavement distress inventory. The observation covered 10,000 m divided into 100 recording segments. The percentage of pavement distress was calculated using the number of recorded points on each road section as the denominator. The inventory recorded 636 distress points, consisting of 356 points on Sine, 124 on Dlodo, 79 on Mekkah, and 77 on Molang. The dominant distress types included potholes on Sine at 39.89%, divided slabs on Dlodo at 46.77%, localized cracking on Mekkah at 44.30%, and linear cracking on Molang at 97.40%. The four road sections consist of flexible, rigid, and composite pavements with two-way traffic and no median. The results indicate differences in the composition of pavement distress among the road sections. These percentages represent the frequency of recorded distress points rather than the proportion of damaged area or PCI condition class. The study also provides a comparative description of the distress characteristics of the four feeder roads based on pavement type, observation location, and the number of recorded distress occurrences. The observations show that each road section has a different dominant distress pattern according to its pavement characteristics and observed field conditions. This information provides a descriptive basis for identifying the distribution of pavement distress and supporting further evaluation of road maintenance needs. However, this study is limited to visual pavement distress inventory and does not include an assessment of pavement structural capacity, remaining service life, or PCI-based condition classification.
