Imogiri - Dlingo road section is a primary collector road located in the Mangunan tourist area, Bantul, Indonesia. This road is a provincial road with hilly terrain, lots of sharp turns, and long ascents and descents, which are potential for traffic accidents. Police data records that in February 2022 there was an accident on this road with 13 deaths and 33 injuries. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate road geometric, both horizontal and vertical alignments on Imogiri - Dlingo road based on Guidelines for Road Geometric Design number 13/P/BM /2021. To do so, road geometric analysis is conducted by employing road safety inspection data, which is then modeled using AutoCAD Civil 3D software. Based on the survey on road geometric, it is known that the number and width of lanes and shoulders are in accordance with Guidelines. Meanwhile, the analysis results using computer program show that this road has 24 horizontal and 6 vertical alignments. Nevertheless, 87% of bend radius, 67% of curve length, 58% of bend angle, 43% of slope, 57% of critical length, and 67% of control design (K) are not fulfilled the requirements. Therefore, Imogiri - Dlingo road is dangerous road and is potentially causing fatal accidents.
