Almost the big cities in the world has the traffic jam problem. Serang City as the capital city of Banten-Indonesia has the same traffic problem, without a good integrated public transport, makes the problem of traffic transportation in Serang City becomes heavier. Virtual traffic simulation is known as powerful tool for generating alternative solution to minimize the traffic problems. This research use PTV Vissim as virtual traffic simulation software to minimize the traffic problems in Serang City. Serang City has 6 sub-district area, there are Cipocok, Curug, Kasemen, Serang, Taktakan, and Walantaka. This research focus on vehicles traffic only in area of sub-district Serang with 5 main traffic lights crossroad. PTV Vissim uses to simulate the 5 of the main crossroads and find the average of the existing vehicles queue length in rush hour. Trial and error operations such as traffic lights timing and routing modification use to generate alternative solutions for minimizing vehicles queue length as traffic performance in this research. The result of this research has found the rush hour in Serang City occured at 06.00-10.00 and 14.01-18.00 (UTC +07:00), and the routing modification in Kebon Jahe can reduce the average of queue length for 53%.
